Do you think there's a possibility that whitetailed deer are getting heavier? I've seen a lot of large bodied deer lately.

Tough to say without some serious study across several states. I will say this, when we used to hunt NC Kansas, the deer were at least 10-15% heavier than the mature deer we hunt here in SE Kansas.

I shot a big doe yesterday evening and I couldn't lift it onto the rack on my golf cart by myself, so I dragged it up onto the floorboard in front of the seat instead and broke off the reverse handle, and blamed it on these "bigger" deer, but on retrospect, I think it's just that I'm an old man and don't want to admit it

That's interesting! It sounds very much like communism in the Soviet Union in the early years, dictating from a central location leading to starvation. Anyway, I'd love to visit the Scandinavian countries sometime. I know just enough German to understand a little bit of the languages, and I've always been intrigued by the area.

Hmmm, and I was thinking it sounds like Kalifornia or Kolorado !

Yes, where did Koolaidorado go wrong? When I was a boy it was cowboy and indian country, where did these 1960's flower children come from

I took a few junior hunters out today and everyone got one. Fresh venison for their families.

I’m doing a half-hearted muzzleloader hunt this morning (too lazy to clean and load one ). This may be the last time I go out this year. Oddly enough, I just passed the same 135 inch eight point that I did on my first muzzleloader hunt back in October. He just worked a scrape at the edge of a food plot and then went back into the woods. Less than a minute after he left a small buck came up behind him and worked the same scrape.

Actually, more than hoping to shoot a deer, I was hoping to get a crack at another one of those coyotes.

That must be a pretty good food plot if you are getting daylight buck action at 8 am!

It is completely surrounded by cover - thick woods on one side and tall NWSGs on the other. I’m only able to see it from my high tower blind 227 yards away. It actually happened a while before I posted, but it was light enough to see the rack well before I looked through the scope.

From what I saw when I was there, half came from California, and the other half came from Texas.

The Texas half must have came from LLA (Little Los Angeles), aka Austin, Texas, home of the hopeless.

I don't understand Texas geopolitical areas very well, I thought Houston was this type of place?

All the big cities trend liberal MM, but Austin is the lawyer capitol of TX and it’s the worst. Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and El Paso aren’t far behind. We are basically Canada, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and the Eastern seaboard geopolitically speaking. The conservatives live in the country, the smaller towns, and subdivisions and the liberals live in the cities. This is a generalization of course, but it’s mostly true.

The stuff that’s happening in Aurora, CO right now with the Venezualen gangs would be short lived where I live. They would meet with much resistance.
