I do not think we have to pay for him to come over. We are in the DMAP program in VA that we weight and take jaw bones out of each deer. We check split hoof and milk present in does. They take the info and put down our data. They tell us the age of the deer killed and the average point per age. They also give us a ratio of doe to buck that they think we should take to best manage the deer. We do a nice dinner and give him a free dinner. I really enjoy hearing him talk. I will ask on Wed and get back to you if we have to pay him to come and report the data.

It is a free service for us being on DMAP. He was very pleased with our kills. We need to let the 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 deer get older. It is hard to do that when people are paying 625.00 a year to hunt. I am trying to let them grow up but last year I killed a nice 9 pointer that was 3 1/2 years old. He told us a lot of good ideas and I am looking forward to this years season.

still nothing, I have a lot of good looking young bucks but that old nasty moss head has just not come out yet. Let me rephrase that he has not made a mistake yet I know he has come out just not when I need him to. good luck to yall, going to try again this weekend maybe I will have more luck since there will be no moon out I think the rut is starting to wind down but should see some movement I just wish that I could get the weather to cooperateto darn hot.

Heys guys. How are you all doing? Firearms season is pretty much over, Sunday ends Muzzleloader session.
Anyway, my firearm buck tag was filled on day 2 of rifle season. He went straight to the processor after field dressing. When I take him to get mounted I will get him measured. He won't score a ton, but it's my first ever deer and it's points. Here is a pic.
