I figure it’s water/river related as well. Or atleast that’s my excuse for his deer growing bigger antlers than mine, haha. Water is definitely hard to come by in that county. Especially recently.
The river level has dropped in just two weeks, and if it doesn’t rain in Kansas, it’ll probably be dry again in a month or so.
Oklahoma. Tress aren’t anywhere near being leafed out this time of year in Nebraska. Lol. Makes finding spring roost reeeeeeal easy the first couple weeks of season!
Holy crap that’s a big bird even for Nebraska standards. You get them over 25lbs here and you got a beast! Think the biggest I’ve seen taken here was 28
