Amy used to run the check station up at Ft Drum when we were there.
It was NOTHING to see a buck on the scales at 215, 225, 235.....DRESSED!
Average does on the scale were 160 - 180 dressed.
There were times I'd go "hunting" (i.e. my excuse to get out in the woods) and I'd fall asleep (my actual intent for going out) in a stand of Black Walnut trees and I'd wake up and it looked like the damn deer were line dancing all around me.
I swear, some where out there is a picture of some buck, holding my gun, with a caption that says, "If I only had fingers!...."
