I started this thread at 7:04 Friday morning (12/2). At 7:39 I rattled in a 10 pt that came in on a string. Let him go twice but the third time he came by I shot him. Not a spectacular buck & had lots of pics past two years. Very narrow but weighed 173# which is right in line with our 4 yr olds. Mass is decent & 19-1/2" beams. Hocks were barely stained. After I killed him,. " top end 3 yr old " has been rolling around in my head. Sending teeth off tomorrow to have expedited cementum testing done.
Saturday morning another member killed a heavy horned 185# 6pt that was trailing a doe. Estimated him at 4+. Then yesterday afternoon another member killed a 166# 8 with 23" beams & 5" bases which we estimated to be 5+. The buck & a doe came onto plot together and fed for 10 minutes before he shot him.
This morning I've gotten pics of bucks on their feet cruising from two different cameras.
Looks like finally picking up for Wayne Co. Will have a few people in camp all week so fingers crossed for them.
All I can could get grandson on was small bucks & does. Yesterday when he went home, he made sure that I'd be picking him up again Friday at school to come back!
