I wasn’t able to be quite as thorough as I usually would but that’s a trade off I’d take any day! That dead head was 20” wide, never seen that deer before which is pretty unusual for where I found him.That DH has almost perfect symmetry! What he grosses is what he’ll net, lol. Great day with your son Zach.

I’m on the board. Walked almost 16,000 steps in the fields and sloughs today and found a real nice slammer of a 4 pt side. I covered what ground nearby that I had permission to walk and it’s not there. It could still be on his head as it looked like it hadn’t been there too long. I did a rough measurement a few minutes after I took the ATL pics using my fingers and came up with 67 and taped it just now at 67.75.
I checked cameras yesterday and we still have a bunch holding. The match to the bigger one I found is still holding.
Walked over 20K steps today in a 3.5 hour stretch and found #’s 2,3 and 4 with two of them being a set. They were all small but I’m happy. No chews and they were all this years. The mates were found 60 yards apart. I also found my first deadhead this year just two walks in and unfortunately it appears to be another EHD casualty. Looked as though there was some velvet still on part of rack at time of death. The pic with two sheds in it is how I found them but they are not mates. The mate was countless briar scratches and cuss words and 60 yards away. Lol

It’s a pa deer but found a cool one I was waiting to find. 50 inch 3 point side basically. Heavy sucker
Walked another 21,000 steps today(roughly 9.6 miles) in 3.5-4 hours and found #5,6 and 7 with 6 and 7 being another set. They were 50 yards apart and likely off a 2.5 old buck. I unfortunately found 3 more dead bucks and a dead doe. One of the bucks was a super nice young clean 10 that I took pics of and sent to local GW for salvage permit in the future.
I still have 80% still holding so gonna wait a few more weeks and the cameras will tell me when most drop.
Not too excited this year afraid I may be finding some big bucks that EHD got.
