RE: I always hear this story...
I learn something every day.
So you have to wait til the right season........have enough moisture on the ground to read hoof prints.....find a buck bedding area with 6" diam. (that's 1 foot across)or greater trees.....to know that there WAS a buck there of possible substantial size and age.....and hope he made it through to the hunting season?
I'm gonna tell ya.....KUDOS from me. I'm serious.
