Well at least now I know why I couldn't find that big buck that was hanging around here all last fall and through the summer.
I just learned that my neighbors wife got him. And he was bigger then I thought.
I figured him for a little smaller then my largest buck so far, 165 or maybe a bit more. The word is he went 176.
Congratulations Cathy. Are we going to see some photos?
Very impressive. Not to worry though. There are a couple of decent bucks left.
No where near 170 but I was looking for a meat buck anyway.
Besides, it looks like my season is over. I'm on night shift now and the forecast is for snow every day into next week. By the time I get off night shift and the weather gives me a break it'll be all over.
It's been like this ever since I took this job ten years ago. If I was a twenty years younger I'd quit this job and go back to the patch. I'd get a lot more hunting time. But a lot less satisfaction from my work. I guess I can live with job satisfaction, and do my hunting with my camera.
