I will step out on a limb and suggest that this season will go down as the "all time" best year to hunt whitetails up here. There are many very old bucks in the system. The reason is because we have not had any winter kill for many years. Reports are streaming in of huge giant bucks showing themselves all over the area. Huge bucks with huge antlers.
With another El Nino coming this winter there will be no winter kill once again and with luck the old bucks will face an easy winter. Someone may pop another "Dryden Buck" soon and I hope its me.
Good luck at Sioux narrows. Its a good place to hunt alright.
