RE: monstrous buck
It amazes me how many people are out in the woods hunting live animals and really have no idea what they are doing.
Nothing short of embarrassing.
Do everyone a favor (mostly the animals) and take a day or 2 to actually read and learn all the stuff you should already know considering you are out there hunting.
This site has enough information at the top of page 1 to help people not be clueless............my advice would be to use it so you can start finding some of the deer you kill.
Lost deer happen in hunting............when it is due to COMPLETE hunter ignorance it is a lot harder to stomach.
