I will jump in on this awesome thread, have not been posting much.
Has been a weird year this year, some amazing bucks all summer and early fall, then the usual October disappearing act. Early November, we get 36 cm of snow and cold temps. The deer come out of the woods and start making their appearance....except the big boys. Tons of smaller buck, lots of recruitment for the up coming years. Never seen so many young 4x4 100-110 class bucks. They were everywhere!! My hunting partners took a few bucks, including a 195 lbs carcass weight 4x4 and a 177" 9x7. But still not a lot of good quality bucks.
Here is a couple that have shown up in the last week

The big 4x4 with double brows has an old broken leg, yet he is the prime buck, he usually shows up with the does. The other buck with the triple brows on the left side seems to always be by himself.
Cheers
