[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4361799, member: 12277"] I am seeing about the normal numbers of deer this year around my farm. Most days that I hunt I see a deer or two although sometimes they are deer i jump going to and from my stand. Haven't seen a buck even close to 100 inches yet but that's about normal too. :) I did see one older buck early in the season at about 600 yards in very low light that had a body large enough to sport a decent rack (100 inches to me) but it was too dark to see a rack so not sure about him. I shot a "doe" at about 300 yards the other day that turned out to be a 1 1/2 year old buck with 2 inch antlers that tilted back towards his neck so that I couldn't see them with a 12X scope. Don't really bother me as I would prefer in some way to kill a buck and save does to get deer numbers up. Also since I usually shoot 1 buck every other year, this is my year for a buck anyhow. :) What difference does it really make that he had 4 inches of antler??? Oh yeah, the 2nd rut definitely started around here mid December with bucks running around looking for does. Either Dec 22 or 23, tow young bucks chased a group of does all over the pasture right beside the house. Saw a 6 point this morning cruising behind the house on a mission looking for hot does.
