Had to go to Rochester NY this weekend, and while there did some scouting with my non-waterfowl hunting buddies. Man, it was a great winter and spring! First of all - we saw a ton of does with fawns - more twins than we had seen in quite awhile. And the fawns looked very healthy which is a great indication that the rest of the herd is good.
Bucks.............Did we see some bucks! Its funny - seen quite a few good ones but it seems you only seem the big boys with either a matching bookend or with one near it in size - very rare to see them in bachelor herds. We did see some good size bachelor groups - one group was 7 deer in a field with all being bucks - the biggest a good 8 all the way down to a fork horn.
Also seen some "interesting" bucks - one had horns down over its eyes like a cape buffalo .
Waterfowl hunting is certainly my first love but seeing some nice Big bucks certainly peeks my interest too!
Anybody else seeing some good bucks?
