Sounds like you had a good season though. If you're looking for my advice, you should shoot two bucks again this year.


Yep, I remember that. All the deer were on "high ground", as the creek bottom thickets were flooded.


I remember the floods of 85 in SWVA.


You're right, it was 85 I was remembering.


Don't recall the exact year, but do recall the water and how concentrated the deer were. Back then, it was like we'd gone to Heaven.
