Just got home from work about 30 minutes ago and finally saw my first buck in nearly a year on my way home in the early mornings. Just wanted to document it on this thread. I passed him in the city of Loveland standing in a clearing along the Little Miami River at 3:15 this morning. He had both sides and was a couple inches past the ears and the beams angled up and had nice curl to them. He was at least an 8 but I think he was a 10 point that was easily in the 135-140" range. Very nice tine length as well.
Like I said earlier, I think the bucks down here seem to drop later for some reason. Prolly wont shed till the new growth pushes them off! Lol
