I dont know how it is in other places, but my wife and I rode the rodes today for the first time this year. Virginia, North Carolina border.I always start the last week before July. Over the past years, I normally see about 2 maybe 3 bucks that have the potential to be great bucks. But, oh hell, tonight, I saw 42 bucks, at least 20 of them are taxidermy ready. I could not believe my eyes. I have them on camcorder, but I have to learn how to put them on the computer. And the best thing...... all these bucks were either on property that I can hunt, or joining farms. Out of the other bucks I saw, with the growing time left, most of them should grow real nice. I know I sound like a kid in a candy store, but you didnt see what i saw, and it has really put the fever in me early.
