Well after all that freaking out i believe old boy shed during that cold snap. With the frozen ground i should be able to verify. He's got distinctive white socks above his hooves. Lately its too muddy to tell.
Im hoping to find his sheds and am thinking big things for next year. He made huge jumps from 2.5 to 4.5. He could be ridiculous next year.
Still a tough pill to swallow. Alot of time and energy spent. I should have been able to kill him. Still learning.
I'm not giving up on filling my buck tag yet. Will be checking some cams today in hopes of finding a mature buck to get after these next two weeks to round my season out. For whatever reason i have no desire to wack a doe this late in the game, but my dads coming down for the weekend and i think hes ready to get his hands bloody.
I really want to find those sheds
