RE: Hit my first buck tonight!!
I'm going to get some friends to help look. I did the circle search the best I could. But because of the area it makes it tough. The area he ran through is a narrow draw/dike with thick willows and cattail swamps on both sides. The draw is about 50-60 yards in length before opening into CRP land on one end, and the bean field with a small woodlot where I was hunting on the other end. Deer will funnel through the draw because its dry and dont have to swim the swamps to get across. So I searched the whole draw right into the cattails as far as I could on both sides. Then circled through the CRP. Along with all the other places I checked too. But I'll have to get some help to look further. The buck was a very nice looking 6 pointer. The rack wasn't huge but very nice looking deer. It will a great first deer if I can find it....
