I was walking down a woods road at daylight this morning and spotted Lopsided walking away around a curve. Dropped my cushion, thermos, rattling horns and started sneaking up on him. Moved forward maybe 40 or 50 yards , looked again and he was straight on staring at me.
He then turned and started walking off the road and I dropped to my belly popped out the bi pods and grunted at him. He stopped just as he was going out of sight and I shot.
It was very early so I went back and had a cup of tea then went to look. I went in where I thought he had gone and spent an hour looking before I found him. Seems I picked the wrong spot where he went in. He had run about 75 yds.
I'm still shaking!

Only on page 6 but dropping in to say how much I love this thread. We are in the process of doing the same thing as you have but we are in the beginning of our adventure. Nice to see a bright light at the end of the long tunnel. Learning a lot from this thread & the passion you're sharing with us. Thank you for creating it El Gato.

How many bucks do y'all plan on putting on the ground this year?
We will keep focusing on bucks for the next week or so. There are numerous 4 yr and older bucks I'm willing to remove. As I keep saying it is about removing mouths from the feed bucket. While some are higher on the priority list than others mostly I just want the numbers down thinning from the bottom up.
We will start focusing on does again in a couple of weeks. Right now they hate coming to the fields because the bucks harass them so much. That will settle down. And from what I've seen removing another 10-15 will be OK.
I didn't score the 8. There are a bunch like him.
