Man I apologize for being so late replying. I didn't even see where there was a reply to my message till tonight. We hunt the Shawnee area between Golconda and Rosebud. It is tough hunting the public land but we have been blessed to have taken a few pretty good ones over the last 10 years. This year the 6 pointer I shot was big bodied and not a bad buck for what he was. It was the only mature deer we saw come by our stands all week. That was really not the usual for us. But it happens. Where abouts do you guys hunt in Pope?
Thank you for the compliment. He broke a brow off or he would have had 7 pts. It was a tough hunt for the big boys this year. Saw a lot of 2 year old's with potential though. If they survive till next year we'll see a few better deer no doubt. I'm going to take it easy for a few weeks and then hit the club in Selma for a few hunts. I have not hunted down there yet and from what I hear from the members there are some real good deer moving already. Nobody is shooting yet since it is a trophy managed club. I'm new to the club, but they all think there will be some real slobs killed in January. Maybe I'll be one to take a slob!:smile
