Big buck of 2011
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 7:11PM My good friend John Peterson was fortunate last week to connect with a beautiful, big buck that we have been chasing for the past three years. It is the dream "Canada" deer - heavy, tall, dark antlers. This buck lived in a remote area and had very minimal encounters with humans, but he was very tricky to catch up with. We probably have over 250 trail cam pictures of this deer and up until this November only 2 were during daylight hours. I have attached some pictures of him from last year and you can see he was a little bit taller last year. I'm not sure if he was just getting old and started to decline this year or if he just didn't get as good of a growing season because it was so dry. Last year we had an early spring and a wet summer. Congratulations JP!
It came out to check out a fresh scrape at 1:30 in the afternoon.
