Bob... The Whitetails we hunted were from Springer west to Cimarron... They are mainly along the Ponil River there... We also hunted them in Clayton so I'd guess they came from TX along the river beds... I did some feral hog depredation contracts in Clayton as well... They are moving in from TX using the same river bed systems...

EHG: Must be some time since I was in Clayton and Springer! I don't recall anyone mentioning whitetails or feral hogs at all. That's really interesting how things have morph'd over in that country. I hunted elk and mule deer in that general region;and clear from Clayton over to Cimmarron. I remember a bar in Cimarron with bullet holes in the ceiling....an historic place of some kind where some guys got shot.....that still there?

Couple Buds took these two when we were down-and up-in the Monongahela NF in WV on two different trips a few years back.

Battue,
It looks like I need to start hunting the National Forest with you. Those are fine WV deer.

This is my biggest mule deer to date. I killed him back in 2001. 450 yards with a 338win mag and 225gr core lokt. 26" outside spread. Gonz I'll make you a deal and sell you this one for $3500...

msu those are all nice bucks! What part of MS? I hear north is agriculture and south is wooded? These are from the north western portion of the state. The west part of the state (delta) is primarily ag and produces the a lot of big deer. However the central part of the state seems to produce big deer as well. If we didn't have a 10week firearm season I have no doubt ms would be a true big buck state.

Battue,
It looks like I need to start hunting the National Forest with you. Those are fine WV deer. In those two hunts we had between 4-6 guys camping for the first three days of the season. We saw around a total of perhaps 8 Deer during two hunts. One of the guys also took a small one. All were taken up high. As you know some of that country will wear on you and it has just about wore me down.

SAS those are nice bucks! Is that Kentucky? As to the mule deer,not all deer hunting is chasing hogs I've shot them that size for meat myself. It's all good. Put in for Colorado or western Wyo for a good tag and have at it!
