This season may get as exciting as the last. 30 Yards from my blind. Oct. can’t get here soon enough.

So far this year, I have signs of a ton of does, a little forkhorn and a small 8. That's it. Oh, and pigs. Lots of pigs. Looks like I will have to rely on my OK trip to get a monster this year. Hope you really do have a monster lurking in your back yard!

I've seen those signs of Monster's over the last 50 years but have yet to lay eyes on one

hard to judge a monster in mud...in my experience mud and snow always make animal's tracks seem bigger than they are

Depending on time of year.
Could be a big pregnant doe.

yall stop stealling a mans HOPE! I hope that track was made by a 180+ 8 pt with long tines and a wide spread!! And I hope he shows up opening morning and what ever you are shooting flies true! I look forward to the "hero" pics!!

Thank you brother. And , you’re right. Wasn’t going to say so; but I will now. I’ve seen the bachelor herd already. If all holds true as I anticipate, I have three monsters to choose from out of the herd that will put lasts years near record buck to shame. Wait and see anyone that doubts me.

Best wish's
May your arrows/bullets fly straight &:true.

No one is doubting you IF you have seen them…i hope this is a big one you can get ground checked.

Just saying a track in mud is no indicator of anything other than deer. Good luck!

I appreciate your best wishes. I certainly know the difference between a buck or doe track. I would hope most hunters with enough experience could too. One of the first things my father taught me. When you’ve spot and stalked as much as I have, you rely on it.

been deer hunting since the 70's. So not an expert. Twas just observation going by tracks.
Older doe tracks carrying fawn in mud or running toes spread out & dew claws will show.
Tis sure you have pics of the buck. Again Best wish's & looking forward ta seeing a successful hunt this year.
