Thanks for your response Bill. I'm just seeing this. I've spent the last few weeks deer hunting. I managed to take the second biggest rack of my 55 years of hunting. He was only beat by an 11 point monster I took in Saskatchewan. I saw many smaller bucks but we only shoot 3 1/2 year old deer or better on the property. I did have a shootable 9 pointer around my stand but I couldn't get the shot I wanted. I am very picky about the shots I'll take. All of the deer I took this year had stomachs filled with the sorghum we planted. The deer and pheasants love it. Now I'll be giving the pheasants and grouse a hard time with my little setter Jesse.
