David..I hear ya..The hunt..the food..its all good...There is posted land everywhere here in New Hampshire. I have permission to hunt on land that is posted by a docter. he is very nice. I have hunted there for a few years now. My first bow harvest was a button buck, and it was a very exciting hunt. I got lucky with my first deer. would of taken a doe if one came by..but the large scrape yeiled a nice 8 pointer @ 189 lb dressed... we no not have much land here for ' growing antlers" you have to " HUNT" for the big boys.
