Nice job. A couple years ago helped one out of a cattle panel during spring turkey season. It hadn't been there too long, glad I didn't get kicked in the process. Found a few with skeletons like that and one time a small buck that got it's head stuck in a small tree crotch and died...
Thanks Fishbonker . Why didn't they use deer shot during gun hunting seasons? Offer hunters in the zone a monetary rebate to bring in deer for testing. Win/win you would think.
Good way to shoot 10 more wall hangers for the year. A real lot of info on it, not. No map of the zone just season from 20th-28th. Let's go out and shoot some deer, wait for the test and donate to HUSH, what a waste.
Went squirrel hunting today and saw guys out in blaze orange running around. Must have a CWD hunt going on in Clayton County. Never heard of it until today.
That looks exactly the body size of the buck I shot last year early muzzy. Thing was a tank, locker got 120 pounds of boned out meat from it. A buddy and myself had to drag it 600 yards along a cornfield (instead of briars) took 2+ hours, I was whooped for 2 days after that. BTW my rack...
Shot a nice mature buck Thursday night. Was following 2 does and walking away. Heard him grunt once. Grunted at him but nothing, grabbed the rattling antlers and rattled him in. 25 yards with .45 cal muzzy. Live weight probably pushing 280-300. I weight 275 and hardly could budge him.
2 years ago I had one on camera in Clayton county. They are around, but few. I would like to take my boys down to southern Iowa and find a spot to try and trap one.
A buddy of mine has an enclosed trailer that is 7x16 with a vee front. He partitioned it off for his 4 wheeler in the back and 2 bunks made out of 2x4 and plywood and bought a mattress for each. He has wired it to hook up at campground if needed.
While turkey hunting Saturday saw a group of five deer chasing each other around a CRP field, pulled up the binocs and two of them had atleast 3" or better of velvet starting.
