This has not only been the worst season, but also the WEIRDEST I have ever experienced.
Saw several doe in early down at the feeder behind the house this morning, and right after 8 o'clock I had a huge buck come in.
He was half again bigger than the biggest doe.
Now here's the weird part I have never EVER seen before - He was in full rut (neck all swelled up & all), and chasing the doe HARD, but he has already shed his antlers.
The pedicals were as big around as my wrists, and he wasn't an old buck. Maybe a 4 year old.
I could have legally shot him too, because we are in our antlerless only season.
Of course I didn't shoot him, because I bet he had a monster rack before he dropped them. I hope he lives to next season.
