I’m heading down this weekend and will dive by there. I’ll see if he has the sign out with hours.

 

[SlipperyHill Mo]

Yes I think so. His sign is out and he is putting a new roof on shop

 

[Crakajak]

Good luck to all the bow hunters.I haven,t been able to get down since March....except for a funeral.

 

[awoods]

Yep, Chapman is open.

Yep, Chapman is open.

Thanks, was down there this weekend, and one of our members took a doe to him, during bow season he is open 9 AM to 9 PM.

If anyone is a member, or knows one, of Flint River Sportsman's Club off 36/Double Bridges, please send me a PM. Club name may have changed over the years, but that is what it was in the 90s. Thanks.

Hopefully we will get a little rain this week that they are predicting, plots really need it

Was down at our lease on Thursday and it's dry as a bone. Could use a little rain before the opener.

Solid 5 and he’s heavy!

Somebody shoot him if you see him.............. I think he is 4+ yrs old.

That’s a horrible idea. There’s tons of research that shows that those bucks 90% of the time have pedical damage. That particular buck will probably never outgrow that since the injury is in the cranium. But IT IS NOT HEREDITARY. So looks like an awesome deer to have in your herd and spreading his genes, but 9 out of 10 guys are gonna shoot him and call him retarded or something.

 

[SlipperyHill Mo]

I would shoot because he is a nice, big old deer. Guess I am 1 out of 10. I think it is a good! Thanks South Paw.

I understand what you are saying but I got this pic of him in velvet from last year and the left side appears to have not changed, I don't think that left side will ever be much more than it is now.

His left side is due to an injury within his skull. He will probably never outgrow that. He will very likely always have a funky side on that side. But it’s not in his genes. And judging by his good side, that’s a mighty fine deer. So killing him just cause you think he might pass that trait on would be a bad decision in my opinion. Killing him just cause you want to would be one thing, but if you’re killing him just cause you think he’d pass it on, that’s way off base.

 

[John Calhoun]

We are less than a mile from you, and that trait seems to run in our herd. Over the years we have killed probably 5-6 bucks with a big 4-5 point side and then a big spike or fork. We have one on camera this year like him, not sure if it’s the same deer. I’ll shoot him because I think it is hereditary and he don’t match up when fighting. Then somebody loses an eye.
