Doesn't matter where you look, anywhere there is deer sign their is surly a horn. I've been out a few times and havn't came out empty handed yet, however only brought back one fresh brown. Good luck and post up some pics when you get some.

I went out yesterday and all I saw was bucks and bulls running around with the horns still nicely attached to their heads. My area must be a little late. I'm new to this stuff.-----shooter

It depends on the herd. I'm here in central Utah like shooter. Last year the boys from Team WAM (Wild Antler Magic) were posting up finds in mid to late janurary. They were gathering their finds not too far away from an area that the herd didn't drop until mid march. I don't know why the herds were affected so diferently. I think the best advice for you AMP is to just keep learning where they winter near you and then keep tabs on them. I know thats easier said than done when youre in school or working a lot. I'm certainly not a pro at this as it's only my second year and I'm still learning too. Best of luck to you.
