LOL, I know it sounds crazy but last night on the way home from work I spotted a 6point buck, so a 3X3. I called my buddy and we concluded there was no way a buck was still running w/ his horns, so we are thinking Doe w/ horns? I didn't have my good binoculars w/ me but they looked like nice hard white horns, i.e. didn't have any velvet on them like some does have.

Yes, it is possible he still has his antlers from last fall. There are many variables that go into when a buck drops his antlers and they shed them naturally from October thru late spring. I haven't seen a buck in 3-4 weeks this year myself. In the past I have seen bucks carrying into late March many times and watched a big 10 point one year until middle of April.

Cooskinner....I see that you spend alot of time near Nelsonville..I hunted the Sunday Creek area a few times..worked a few gobblers only to have them scared off by quads..nice area..I've never really seen any deer to speak of but have seen some god aweful big tracks in the mud near the wells..Lots of the Wayne in that area..camped on top of the hill just to the south of SC..spend any time in that area???
