Looks like he's been eating well, too.
I've only had this property for a little over 2 years, but its been hard to tell when they rut up on the mountain since we have more bucks than does.They're definitely close to their peak size. I usually see peak "bulk-up" the first few days of November (just before whenever peak breeding is in the local area).
If he goes down, I'll be hauling him out with the skid steer for sure. He's the smaller of two 10's that have been showing up, but I've not gotten a good angle on the bigger one. He tends to skirt the edge of camera range.Hes solid....healthy looking.
Very Nice!!!!If he goes down, I'll be hauling him out with the skid steer for sure. He's the smaller of two 10's that have been showing up, but I've not gotten a good angle on the bigger one. He tends to skirt the edge of camera range.View attachment 298701
When you have a sex ratio favoring bucks, hunting the rut (or even finding it) can be difficult. It is incredibly intense but incredibly short. Back when we were running 1.5 to 2.0 bucks per doe, if you happened to not hunt one of the few peak days of the year, you just flat out missed the rut.I've only had this property for a little over 2 years, but its been hard to tell when they rut up on the mountain since we have more bucks than does.
Thanks. Its all good, its just that time of year.Lol. Sorry i didn't mean to steal your thread… didnt see it. Nice buck
