That's pretty fascinating actually. I would never have thought that a buck would carry his ears differently because of the rack, but..it does make some sense, having that rack in the way.

I THINK I found a buck trail last year as well. I jumped that big droptine buck along a standing cornfield last year, and suddenly remembered an ever so faint trail along that ridge as well. Some scouting verified it was there, and it was MUCH more faint and obviously less used than the main trail. I assumed it was made from that buck, who's most likely been bedding there while the corn was standing. I hunted it a couple times to no avail, I never saw him. BUT, by the time hunting season rolls around, the corn is out already. I believe he only beds there while corn is standing. Maybe beans, I'll find that out this year.
