First this busted rack that a squirrel dug out of the snow. Second was a little freshy 2 pt measured 5 1/2". ;D Still a lot of bucks holding their headgear around here.

Way to go! So they still are holding the horns? I'll be at my place in Feb to do a bit. Nice muzzleloading picts! Good size doe you shot.
I had a great end to the season last weekend of muzzleloader when 15 deer came out and were all around me at last hour of light. Decided not to shoot it was holding out for a buck, really cool

Thanks Burt, this past season was pretty good to me. The smokepole did a number on them that's for sure.
Here's a few pics of some of the bucks that have made it here I'll be hoping to match some fresh sheds to shortly. Not sure what's going on lately but pics on the cam have really dropped off over the past week or so. No slammers so I'll go for quantity over quality this year ;D

I took down my cam and moved it to my brother in laws place. I'll have to get an extra. I like these after season picts.

I figure something should open up right around the second week of May (after I fill a turkey tag or two )

Is it me or is this time of the year just as fun for you as hunting?

It's a much gentler hunt,lol

Apparently they have poor sense of smell so you don't have to worry about scent.

Or hunting areas? I take my dogs for walks and try to hit areas with deer. If i see something its just a bonus. How far apart was that set?
