Also hunting farm country verses forest country will grow different deer.
Greenbrier County first day... Let a spike walk, had a doe in the brush, a button buck smell my ladder on my stand and a doe flank me too far out. It was breezy, and the woods were quiet with a bit of rain late in the week. Full moon this week, maybe similiar slow luck for Saturday.
My friend I am from WEST VIRGINIA and have been hunting in WEST VIRGINIA for over 30 years now. Clueless? Not hardly. Where I hunt in southwestern, PENNSYLVANIA (Greene County) there is an antler restriction, must be 4 points to a side, that's something WEST VIRGINIA doesn't have therefore you wont see the "Big Rack" bucks unless you are hunting the 4 southern WV counties that hasn't allowed gun hunting since 1972. That's not to say that there aren't any "BIG RACKED" deer in the Mountain State, just hard to see any when they never get to reach maturity.
