Well tonight was the first chance I have had to get back out since my swim last Thursday. It turned out to be a great evening. I went to a spot I had been seeing a ton of activity on the clover field. As soon as I started to walk I saw tons of footprints. I decided to walk out toward the middle of the field as the edges looked like they had been pounded. After walking the field with no luck I remembered a small patch of woods close by. I figured the deer had to be spending sometime holed up in it before coming to the clover field. I hadn't walked 50 yards into it when I scoped up the first and what turned out to be the biggest of the evening. The best part was someone else's boot print was less than 2 feet from the shed. I like picking those ones up. As I searched a little more for the other side it became clear to me with tracks about 5-6 feet apart, that the person in there before me had grid the area. He must have found the other side and it appears he did quite a bit of walking looking for the match. I spent about 20 minutes and decided to move on. That's when I found the freak horn. Two of it's tines were barely visable above the grass. Then I decided to check another area and picked up a small 3 point that has a small fork on the brow tine. I took field photos with my 35mm tonight. I did stop at a buddies on the way home and have him snap some digitals for me to post tonight. Here is the 3 of them.
