My friend Bill Sgrinia had to brag about this buck
I just got this shot from my friend Bill Sgrinia, director of the parks and rec department in Danville. Bill used to live in Craig County and work for the parks and rec departments in Roanoke and Montgomery counties, in that order, before heading down to the land of big deer. This is a beast, although when Bill said its estimated weight was 190 pounds, that means it was maybe 150. Seriously, does anybody get it right when they estimate the weight of a deer? I don't think so. Take off at least 15 percent and you might be getting somewhere.
I haven't hunted since Friday and I guess that's why I haven't updated the blog in a few days. It doesn't help that I haven't been getting many reports. I know there are still some bucks running around out there, but it's been slow.
I'm headed out this afternoon to set up some ground blinds for a youth hunt I'm hosting Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. It will be a nice day to be in the woods. I'm taking my kids and if we get the work done early enough I may see if they can sit still for around 30 minutes in a blind around sunset. You never know what might happen.
