JPF a bud of mine saw a buck 1 mile or so away from the land u were hunting maybe 3 days ago that was absolutely huge. He shot a 170 somethin last year so he knows what big deer look like. Did you see this buck at all in your travels? I am goin to get a bit more info from him and maybe chase that area around with the pointy sticks during thanksgiving. Oh and were u fortunate enough to hit the chelan bar?
