Only recent buck was a small 4X0 a couple of evenings ago - he had dropped its right tine. Time is running out as I've heard of more than one "big" doe that turned out to be a shed buck. No doubt about this big doe yesterday afternoon - just a training track for Ruby as the doe only went 100 yds (xx-lunged).
Ruby and I spent two hours this morning trying to catch up with a doe a friend shot yesterday evening. Not a fatal hit(?), we got the doe up once and kept after it for about 3/4 mile before giving up.
