Nice deer, Bruce. Did you get out trapping this year? I'm glad you're back. Trapped a few muskrats.I really miss the marten and Fisher trapping but to my hoops and regulations now.

Any time a field dressed buck tops 200 pounds it is a big boy. Congratulations on two big boys!
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Wow! What a pig. The farmers will probably get a hundred extra bushels a season with him gone.

I really miss the marten and Fisher trapping but to my hoops and regulations now. I had some of those boxes out and I hate them. I've used the old BG boxes and instead of putting a BG inside them, I plant footholds in front of them. Still have the cubbie effect, makes the animal come in from the front and keeps the bait out of sight of the birds from above. I'll let you know when a fisher decides to walk in front of one. I'm not giving up. I was one step behind the deer all year. Had some bruisers come through but then we had that big early snow and sent all the does heading to the yards. They don't yard anywhere near me and it wasn't long before all the bucks followed the does. Next year.

Thanks.My 16th buck dressing out over 200 pounds in my lifetime. The vast majority of the guys here never get one. My biggest was 230 but I missed one that dressed 272 on one scale and 264 on another. The guy that was with me got it. A monster typical 10 pointer.
