Thanks W A
EDIT - I hunted National Forest W of McComb Miss, 1981-1986
Yes, It wasn't easy
however IF I'd killed him I could NOT have checked it in and NO bragging rights.
ATST, I'm 70 yo and don't mean to brag; have killed a train load of WT. Some heavier in body than thatun and some GOOD racks PLUS untold antlerless.
I like Antlerless Only Season EARLY for multiple reasons.
1. I'm READY to go now.
2. I see where the deer are eating/traveling.
3. I find out where the Doe s are hanging>>>>
4. The BUCKS will come. FIND the Doe s...... Bucks WILL come.
Here's my heaviest WT buck, 194 # whole. Only 10 pt and smaller rack than he HAD the year before. I and my Son saw him the previous year. The FIRST day I hunted my Win Black Shadow 300 WM. in 2008
Here's another I'm proud to have killed in 2007 (IIRC) 178 # Jumped him while still hunting, he was bedded with a Doe.
Shot him on the run, hit the spine, he somersaulted and landed 4 FEET UP in a cutover.
Thanks Again
