Fieldmouse, I must admit that your comment almost made me laugh out loud. Were you serious when you insinuated that anybody hunting in the "mid-Atlantic" area should see bucks like this "every day"? Are you for real? Yeah, no doubt that nice bucks exist where I hunt. I killed a 120" buck in 2002, which was my nicest so far and one of the top 3 that have been killed up there in the past 20 years. They're just not as big or as thick as they in some other areas. I hunt the mountains of western Maryland and that means two things: a screwy buck-to-doe ratio and a somewhat limited food supply. I'd love to know which pen you hunt in. Maybe you could take some pictures of your BC bucks.

Kudos to you! [8D]
