We're having plenty of fun looking at the game camera and this little buck shows a lot of promise.
That's a nice, shootable 6 point, probably two or three years old. And, he's coming out right at the end of the legal shooting hours. According to the app on my phone, absolute sunset on the day in question was 6:22 p.m. We can hunt one-half hour after sunset and that deer came out at 6:47 p.m., fully five minutes before the end of the legal shooting hours.
That mirrors my experience with shootable bucks. You've got to wait until the last possible minute of legal shooting hours. Of course, once the rut starts, all bets are off, but if I had to bet on one buck that we might convert into venison, I believe this one is the best bet. And, there is nothing wrong with a little basket-rack 6-point when you're converting deer into suppertime. The season for this little buck starts on November 16th, and hopefully we'll get some more photos so we can pattern him.
