Just pulled cams on my local south MS lease that have been out since late Oct. I've found my buck to hunt this year.

He is 6.5 this year, and actually grew a browtine on his right side. I passed him up last year during bow season, as his running mate was one of the two deer I was hunting, and passed him up 2 years ago as a 4.5yo because his right beam was broken off just above the pedicle.

I already know where he beds, how he travels between the plots, and even picked up one of his sheds this past turkey season. Just have to wait until after Christmas when he actually moves in daylight, as his core bedding area is unhuntable. Game on!

Not much to update... he is still alive, but I'm having trouble hunting him. A couple new guys in the lease have been hunting 13 out of past 14 days, and have usually beaten me to the spots where around his bedding area. Ive managed to hunt the downwind sides of his core area twice, but he is still nocturnal. Older bucks have just started hitting scrapes in daylight close to their core bed areas. Rut should be kicking off after this next cold front.

Up to over 250hunts between the 18 members... 3 does killed, zero bucks so far. Ive been averaging seeing a deer on 2 out of 5 sits. Not looking good for me unless these other 2 fellows get a job.

Good luck Mega. You're gonna need it. If you do actually get her done, please teach us all how.
