Yep, in NJ that's a helluva nice deer.

If I'd have passed on that buck, even if I ended up not filling a tag(which I've done a few years waiting on a fatboy), he could have been a very nice one next year. They can't get to 150-160 class when you kill them at that size.

Just curious, how many acres are the farm properties that you hunt? I've read that you need between 400 - 1000 acres to keep bucks on the property (assuming you have food, bedding, etc). Here on the east coast it is unfortunately a situation where if you don't shoot it, it's just going to go on somebody elses property that will.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?

EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
