After the mule deer my Dad expressed that he would like a whitetail for sausage so he came out for an evening tour. I told him he could take any buck except the 6x6.
You guessed it. The only buck we saw that night was the 6x6. He wouldn't leave. He just kept showing up and tempting us but I stayed strong. As much as I wanted to get my Dad a deer, he understood why I was reluctant to let him shoot this buck. He told me even if I said he could shoot he wasn't going to. We just sat back and learned a bit more about whitetail behavior.
The shed hunting last year was tough. There was a lot of crops left in the fields and the deer were spread out. With persistence and a lot of leg work we were able to find both side once again.
