Woodseye, nice buck!! I agree that the winter was tough, but I am seeing alot of healthy looking deer around. I will be hunting near Ashland this year and will be dedicating all my efforts on tracking if we get some snow. In the last 5 years I have either still hunted or tracked deer and have seen and passed on more bucks than I care to mention. I have been spoiled early in my hunting years with trophy fever and cant shake it. I think a lot of it has to do with a Mastic Buck I killed 3 years ago. I have set my standards pretty high and now I am looking for that Silver Ridge Buck ( I am sure you know what I mean)!!

take care,
Marlin
