Nice going. How has the hunting been? I've been hunting around Jonestown and haven't hardly seen any movement. Its been too dang hot. I've seen one 8 as I was leaving one night and the last few times I've seen 1 small doe and had 6 doe last week but the new suit I bought was too noisy and spooked them. So, no deer but I exchanged the suit.
Same here. That is one of the reasons I took him. It has been real hot. I tagged both of my does earlier this season on one of the only cool mornings. I had not seen many bucks, and this guy was as good as I had seen. Not a great buck for this land but meat either way. This hunt was possibly my last deer hunt this season, so I kinda had to take him.
By the way, he was a three year old at the least. If I had a large streatch of land he would be simply a cull buck. I got my tags filled and meat in the freezer, so life is good. He was a little bigger than he looks, he weighed 145lbfield dressed, so he made a good amount of meat. We had some last night.
I keep holding out because I normally see bucks like this all the time, but due to the hot weather and the lack of hunting time, he had to do.
