Here's a little update to this old brute...2013 version.

He's gotta be at least 8 years old now!!! Hopefully, I can grab these sheds in a few weeks...
Find out where the deer (more specifically bucks) are feeding during shedding time. A vast majority of my sheds are found in hay/clover/alfalfa fields. My favorite time to look is in mid-late January when all of the fresh feeding activity sign is layed out in the snow...
Nope...found her floating down the creek practically in my yard. I called the DEC and explained the situation and they said it was okay to keep it. The meat was not edible as the carcass was a solid block of ice.
I wasn't there either...but the younger guys father (uncle's cousin) was there too...I don't know what criteria was used to determine who tagged the deer...but it certainly is a crappy situation for both hunters involved.
Some of you will remember this pic. from last year of a buck I called Big Boy...
Well, he ran out of luck today @ 6.5 years old...
