Nice buck, did you get him in Hanover? My wife and I just finished working up my last two deer. Got 4 in the freezer now. A 6 point with a 15” rack, he had four on one side and two on the other. Also killed a spike that I shot for a doe, no more horns for me!! And 2 big does, not a bad year. Just waiting on the shop to call for me to get my burger. I took the 2 bucks minus the lions and hams to be worked up into burger. I’m hoping to get about 20-30 lbs. After that my freezer will be pretty full plus the 2 does my daughter shot on youth hunting weekend. I don’t think we will go hungry. I like to hunt but I’m glad they are all worked up and in the freezer. The fun stops once they hit the ground, then the work begins. Happy hunting!!!!

After 5 years of waiting I finally drew a shotgun buck hunt at the coveted Radford Arsenal! Yep, it was for 11/24.... freezing rain, rain and generally the most uncomfortable hunting conditions imaginable. 30 hunters killed 3 deer... the biggest was a 20” 4 point who was obviously going downhill as far as age and rack size. I saw one 6 point that was on the edge of the 15 1/2” antler restriction. The weather cleared as the 4 pm end of hunt time approached. Lots of rules, regulations and possible penalties rule the hunt. The VGDIF personnel are good to work with but with restrictions galore, I seriously think I’m not jumping through the hoops anymore. I have hunted the Arsenal six times with bow and shotgun since 1985 and would be glad to share any information if anyone has questions.

Deer are thick this year everywhere I have gone.
Not been seeing the huge racks that make for the best horn soup, but meat harvesting has been a huge Blessing for many.

Some nice looking racks, congrats to you guys. I haven't gotten anything picture worthy, just putting meat in the freezer but it's been fun so far.
