We are North so our hunt is the 28th to the 3rd This is early scouting but I like to visit with the ranchers and property managers get all my advanced info talk to guys from 7 years back and see what the rut is progressing like all day we did not see more than 50 does so I know things will start to move the biggest group was 1 buck and 4 does that should look very different when we get down on the 25th for our pre scout.

Yes I did not say nothing better than 12 some may think I'm wrong but the buck bedded by the power pole and the one other will be between 15 and 16 I have one almost identical to the power pole buck the hight to the prong base will be close to 6 and the hookes are deceiving this will be Da Jimmers first so I expect he will be happy with anything but I will try to keep him + 15

I agree on the powerpole buck..I can see good mass,especially the above prong measurment,prongs if viewed from the side look very good. Ear tips are below the prong and I think i see some ivory on the tips so the buck has some curl. 15 + for sure...go get him...

Donny are you camping out or hoteling it for your hunt? We are hunting the same time as you and Junior. I think we will campout for ours . Not sure where,maybe the river valley or something.
Way to go on getting permission way in advance !! Sounds like an opening morning Buck for you and Da Jimmer and another mount for Marco to do.

Yep we are camping at Hanna right in behind the husky nothing to outdoors I guess but we will have the goose gear and the dogs for before and after the antelope hunt.

Yes I do hope Da Jimmer gets one worth of the artists hand
