Tiny, have family on the island where the blacktails use their front lawn as a bedding and food source. These ones aren't the smastest of the species but then again anything urbanized gets dumbed down. Look and stout(run) like muliewith the bucks wearinga smaller version of the classic whitetail rack.

Around home the competition is fierce now for sheds you darn near have to find them warm! Feb/March timeframe but depends on the conditions. Earliest I have found sheds - Dec 30th at the lake. I think this year they'll dump them earlier than the previousyears on the account of snow and stress that brings. I hope the cut barley will still hold my deer in the ML zone I would love to find a few sheds from this years deer. Usually they pick up and move southwest or N. I haveyet to find one of thebucks I was targeting in this area, as the area to the north is pounded and SW is posted up heavy for personal reasons.

JD in regards to the game/scouting cameras what have you dug up? I posted in the forum here and never got a reply, though I asked specifically for digitals for colder weather. I have been talking with a few buddies who are outfitters and theyall state reliability problems after -15 with the new gen stuff. Seem the oldersetups that used the big celled battery pack to run are better once the temp stick drops,ebay has come up dry finding the older models for me. One I am interested in and has got favourable reviews is the Leaf River Digital. I can't find anyone up here who has used it yet in the colder temps. One fella I know has2 and says they are awesome but he was finished prior to Nov this year so never got to test them in the extreme cold. Cabela'shas them on sale for 249.00 right now.
