Well its been a pretty productive year so far. The fawn crop looks healthy. The acorn crop is decent. We have had more movement during daylight than the past few years. Opening week end of gun season was a success. My dad shot a solid 9 and I doubled up with a basket 8 and a doe. Dad, so buck wasn't swollen yet but his tarsals were black. Mine wasn't showing any signs of being ready and was traveling with 2 smaller bucks.
