Here’s the PSA part of the thread.
Poly 8x10 tarps are only $4 at Dollarama!
By 2 for the garage, and toss em after the season.
Buy a third to keep behind the seat of your truck, because you just never know, when you’ll need one.

I started thinking about how many bucks have been taken on the exact same fence line.
It’s pretty amazing.
Rugersingle circa 2011.
2012, by me.
2013
2013
2016
2016
2017
There’s also been at least a half dozen does harvested off that line as well.

Way to Go Rich !! wish I could have been there to help you haul him out but you know why. "Box" hunting isn't for everyone but it sure does produce results

Congrats on a nice buck! Nice to see some pics of the kids out hunting.

The young man in the orange toque accounted very well for himself. Pretty close with the old man's 2017 by the looks of it.

Those bucks that your daughter shot have very similar racks. There's some good whitetail genes being passed down in that area.
