Thats a really cool deer !
All you guys from VA always say that there are no big bucks, but I'm not seeing that.
Apparently VA is COVERED UP IN DEER. So, there has to be some pigs floating around and you've kinda shown evidence of that.
There are some really big deer in VA.
The key/difficult part of actually taking those deer is getting them to move during legal hunting hours. The rut to a certain extent will move some big bucks, but this time of the year after the hounds have hit the woods, natural buck movement is mostly at night. It will often take a drive, dogs or some other 3rd party source of disturbance to kick one up. We don't have the weather the guys in the midwest have, and VA is so full of food sources for deer, that they can live almost anywhere. Its tough to find a good concentration of bucks in one spot... or even just one spot a buck prefers to use.... because they can literally survive anywhere... its like looking for a needle in a stack of needles.
Thats a brute Landon. Y'all do much at Brandon last week?
