I guess I'll hold off on sheddin' (UPDATE with pics)
I just got a call from my grandpa, and hetold me that he's watching 2 of thebiggest bucks he's ever seen in his life eat corn near the creek in his back yard. Not sure about his antler scoring abilities but he said both are easily over 150", one maybe reaching 170.He explained that he couldnt believe the mass on the onebuck.
Do you think its worth it to put a camera out to try and get pics of these bucks? I'd like to see them with my own eyes..He's never seen either of them before, its usually justa group of 8 does/fawns.
Ive heard from a lot of people that bucks were dropping early this year, and from others
(130woodman's thread for example), the bucks still have them, even in very cold areas of the country.
Whats the situation in your neck of the woods?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Well i got a camera out there, left it out for 9 days, and got 518 pictures. The monster didnt show up but I did get some cool pics and the smaller buck of the 2 that he saw.. score is nothing to me, a nice deer is a nice deer. I'll be looking for this guys sheds, and going after him bext year. I'll post the rest of my favorite pics from this go-around on the trail cam forum later tonight.

haha.. well thats the plan, to take one of my moultrie cameras over there tomorrow. I really wanna see these bucks, my grandpa doesnt get excited easily and I could tell by his voice that these were some monster deer. Hopefully I can catch one or both on camera with their antlers still. One thing is for sureI will be looking for thier sheds

Well... Iput a camera out there this morning, and put some apples and more corn.
I really hope I get a picture of the monster before he drops his antlers, we'll see.
I'll be sure to post whatever I did get in about a week and a half..
