That’s a beauty.
It’s sooo easy to just scroll past all the posts on these websites, see trophies and not give them much thought. But a few of the bulls posted here today are really something to be excited about. Congrats for the personal best.
It depends where you’re hunting, but usually, the first couple hours of opening morning are good, after that its over. Around the 17th of November things start to pick up a bit and only get better if weather gets cold and the snow dumps. If no snow/cold until end of season, it can make things...
Tip: dont over-think things, and just enjoy the trip. I had a buck tag there once and the hardest part was staying off the trigger. I planned a 5 day trip and was done in 4 hours. Cant imagine a doe hunt taking more than an hour, lol!

C'mon man. Do you think I actually want to waste my time searching for evidence to furnish to you? All I said was that I don't think an APR is bad if not implemented forever, for various reasons which I'm sure you already have in mind. I think it will increase survivability of bucks even though...
