8 mule deer bucks and 2 whitetail bucks in 22 years zero have been aged. Never been to a check station. Closest one is probably over 100 miles away that I have heard of.
Wife and I wanted a smaller dog that could easily travel with us and still be able to use for bird hunting. We were looking at Boykin or cocker spaniels. Found this English cocker spaniel so the wife made the drive to pick him up. Girls named him Wally.
Hell I’d just like to get back to this. These are just over the state line in North Dakota on public. Wish I’d have saved all the photos of bucks over the years from literally 5 miles over the state line. When you hit the state line it’s night and day difference in quality and quantity...
Though not on the same level as that one this buck wasn’t killed all that far from that area and about the same timeframe. Some day I will get this one scored
Imagine the improvement hunter/landowner relations when your door isn’t being banged on or phone ringing just as you are sitting down for thanksgiving dinner.
If you aren’t seeing pressure signs keep adding h1000. If you want to try something different. I’ve never seen a 7mm Remington not shoot IMR7828 underneath a 150 grain ballistic tip
