Congrats!

I have farm in Braxton county...and I'm not sure what RidgeFactor is talking about. Our hunting is far better than it was 15 years ago. Sure, we used to see 20-30 deer every day out, but we also saw 1 buck out of every 50 deer...and it was a spike or 4pt. Last year I killed a 115" 8-point the first day with a bow...and it wasn't the biggest deer I saw.

We bought our farm in '67 and a 100" deer was unheard of in the late 80's into the late 90's. There were just too many deer.

We've killed some dandy's in the last 5-10 years, and it's all because our numbers are down a little. I still see tons of deer, but the numbers aren't stupid like they were. Some people just want to shoo the deer away....climb a tree...have the deer come back...and shoot one. LOL
