Thanks for sharing.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Looks good! Hopefully we can start finding some sheds soon.

I cleaned up and deleted a few of the earlier posts before you posted your pics.

I'm hoping its a buck we call "Ochocresto" a big 140-150" 8 point we filmed shining this past season. He's a brute, especially for public! I'll see If I can post the video, I don't want to give away the location...

[glow=red]SCOUT TRIP 2-8-12[/glow]

I salvaged through another piece of the marsh today. It wasn't a very good day for finding a whole lot of sign. This particular part of the marsh they are definitely bedding in but I just can't seem to find a whole lot of beds, and there really isn't a whole lot of nice transitions to follow. There was a decent 3 yr old 8 point with a really tall rack I shined multiple times this year on the adjacent field so I was set out to find his particular bed, with no luck :cry: . I did find some beds but they didn't seem like they were of his caliber...
Here are some pics from the day...

I found this little guy harpooned to a branch :shock:

It seemed like I was following/came across a fellow beast's tracks all day...any one want to claim him? :lol:
