SKane, you're right, go and have a great trip. Enjoy all that you see and experience.
I grew up in the heart of this great deer factory we have here. The reason we have these giant deer is because of our climate. I too am going ahead with our annual deer hunt. That is tenting it for a week and half in the bush. It's a blast and can't wait.
But the reality is there will be far fewer wall hangers shot or seen this year than normal due to the devastating winter we experienced last year. Yes, there will be some giants shot, but make no mistake, far fewer than in recent memory.
But in the back of my mind, I still hope and think I will see a giant. Good luck everyone.
