RE: Florida genetics
Say hey ma!
Have been away for long while. Since deer season is over I decided to check-in. Had a pretty good season, 1 buck in mzldr and 3 pigs in gun. Good to have meat in the freeze again! I hunt 3 Lakes and have found a few sheds but I have not found any that have not been chewed on by other critters. Did find the rack in water? and was it on private land? It is a beautiful rack! Nice find!  |

RE: Florida genetics
Camocop, i'll have to ask him to bring his pics over one day.....he brought over all of his jawbones throughout the years because i wanted to make some charts for the check stations that go beyond 5.5 yrs., so he brings me this fricking garbage can full...OMG, i had to lmao....we sat there for hours aging deer, lol.....he's a great man.....but don't tell him i said it, lol.....seriously, he has taught me so much in just the year that he's been around.....
they were both in water at one time but seeing we are so dry now, everything is showing up.....found on public land....... sounds like you had a good year venisionman.......congrats |
RE: Florida genetics
Huntnma,
That is a nice rack to find! Too bad you did not see it on a live deer during season!!! CamoCop, So I guess you do prefer Rock Springs Run over Citrus? I will have to try for a quota at Rock Springs Run this coming season. That is an amazing buck taken there and I guess it helps that they have the 3 pt. rule. I have never seen a buck taken like that at Citrus. Most are just little 1 1/2 year olds. Cheers, Chris |

RE: Florida genetics
My dad killed a non-typical this past season in Jefferson county that sported 4.25 bases. He will be in the Fl. buck registry this year. It took him 30+ years of hunting to kill one like that though....
The problem we have in FL. is that we dont let the deer get any age on them (i'mguilty too). |
RE: Florida genetics
There would be a lot more deer like that if Florida would get their act together and change the damn regulations that they have.it's ridiculous.And that is why florida will never have the quality whitetail that they have the potential to produce.

Pretty dang smart for a ol' taylor county redneck to figure that out how to kill good bucks from a truck bed- |
