Bucks are still sporting horns.
I had 5 different bucks in the back yard last night and they're all still sporting their horns. One bruiser of an 8 point. I think if that guy showed up in the daylight I might have to limber up the old Darton. Late season weather around here has just been the pits. IF it isn't dumping snow and ice the wind is howling at 30 mph like today. Season ends the 31st. I guess I better get at it soon or it'll pass me by.

[8D] Get that Darton out Dave. I need one more great adventure story from you this season. Some of my boys up here are still sportin their battle gear also. Some have dropped but I've seen numerous flatheads that I'm quite familiar with. Hoping most of them survive our tough winter. It has been nasty, big time. However, this ol' boy is still out scoutin his fool head off. Get a big one David.

RE: Bucks are still sporting horns.
I saw 2 bucks this morning while out on one of my "journeys" (and about 7 zillion turkeys Charlie). Both had all atlers (as Navy puts it hehehehe couldn't resist).
However one may have been slightly mentally challenged. They were both crossing the road. One buck got to the other side and ran just ahead of my truck into the woods.
The other buck stood in the middle of the road. I stopped and had a stare down at 30 yards for about 5 minutes. Then the plow guy comes cruising along from the opposite direction. He was about 30 yards from him on the opposite side. The dang thing wouldn't budge. Just sat there looking back and forth at both of us. The plow guy had finally had enough and creeped his way towards him. I swear he must have been 5 or 6 feet from the thing as he passed. The buck took about 5 steps to the side of the road and stood there again.
The plow guy rolled his window down and pulled up to me for a sec. and says "what the hell is wrong with that thing?" No clue I told him. I don't think he's longed for this world though. I had enough amusement myself and gently drove passed him. I got almost even with him and he just kinda walked away down the hill from the side of the road.
anyway this has nothing to do with sheds, but i thought it was interesting.
p.s. always bring your camera
