that this is all about crappie fishin but i have been seeing some bruiser bucks in this last week and was wondering what you fellas are seeing and what your opinions are on the antler restriction that the conservation came up with a few years ago,myself i think it is already making a difference cause we are seeing alot bigger bucks than normal around here,its not just me that is seeing em everyone that i talk to is seeing bruisers.I was working at 11 am yesterday and a 140 class buck walked across an open field and stood in a fence row,i watched him for 10 min or so and he was definatly like ole beagle man in rut big time

he had his nose down and worked a scrape then i was doing a foundation at a different spot and just before dark another big buck walked across an open field with his nose to the ground so if anyone is wanting to stick an arrow in a big buck now would be the time.

i think the antler restriction is a great thing. the young fawns taste a whole heck of a lot better also. those massive bucks make you proud to show people your kill, but you end up with a bunch of summer sausage becuase that's about all that meat is good for. same reason i won't kill a 5-10 lb. bass.

Come over to Illinois and shoot some of these big ol' corn fed bucks, I'm sick of em runnin out in front of me when I'm driving.

The antler restrictions are a good thing. Like you said Bugman,lots of bigger bucks. I hunt up North and there is no antler restriction where I hunt. Seeing way too many does and way too few bucks. Going up tomorrow to put up my stand,and do some glassing. I need to come down and hunt in the campground. Plenty of deer in the park.

hunt deer in the park?? it's been done

oops:o but i'd take the 5th,,well mabey a quart,na go ahead and make it a 1/2 gal,thats what it took last time

Now you know us ole boys from iberia would never do anything like that fuzzy:rolleyes:

**hogster** · 11-03-2006, 09:34 PM

The bucks are in full blown rut on our lease Bugs.I have trail cameras out all over and have acouple of pics of a nice 145-150 8 point but have yet to see him while on stand.He will screw up before its over i hope.
I also think the restriction is a great idea BUUUUUT then they came out with the tele-check system thats just begging for unchecked bucks and poaching in my opinion.Lots of folks process thier own deer these days and its just tooooooooo tempting for those that are nonlaw abideing to not check thier deer.Or at least i think so.

yes bug's i know the ol'boys from rock town are straight arrow types never break any rules or reg's,however over around those swinging bridges it may take on a different light,:p :p .you know you must protect your livestock at all times

**bugman** · 11-04-2006, 04:05 AM

I have to agree hogster it does make it way too easy you know that alot of small bucks get phoned in as does,if you get an awesome shot of a big-un post a pic or do the same when you stick him.I hear ya fuzzy its a whole different world around there with a different set of rules.
