Yeah, we've had less snow than usual around here this year as well. Had an inch Thursday night and then had another inch this morning. That's been about the extent of our snowfall here this year.
We don't get "huge" amounts around here, but we usually have more than a couple of inches.
Looked outside just a second ago and most of what we got this morning is gone already.........
I went down about a month or so ago and pulled my camera. Didn't figure there was much sense in keeping it out. Texted my brother and told him that I had pulled it and he asked me if I had checked his.
Told him that I hadn't since I didn't figure that he had left them out since he had gone back home (he pulled them the last time he went back home). But he had in fact left them out, so I went down last weekend and swapped out the cards in his cameras. Between all of the deer on my camera and his, it's got me wanting to put my camera back out.
Figure I'll go back down next weekend and drop mine off and another one just to see what all we've got and to monitor the antler drop.
So far, it looks like one of the big bucks we had been watching probably didn't make it. He was a pretty decent 9 pt with a broken brow, probably in the 130" range. Last picture we had of him was 12/22. The big one across the road where I normally hunt is still there though. Had a picture of him 1/6 crossing the back edge of the flat the camera was on. He's a nice 10 pt, and his rack makes a really nice oval the way it comes out, probably 22" wide or so with some good length to the tines. Mass was a little thin, so I'm guessing he was 2.5 years old. He should be a dandy this fall.
Depending on what the weather does this coming weekend, I may be out humping it up and down the hills looking for sheds. We've had a few start to drop around the state, so we'll have to wait and see.
