Using Old Sign for Solving the Puzzle of Mature Buck Patterns

Buck Trails: High Powered Mature Buck Movement

January 19, 2012

*www.whitetailhabitatsolutions.com Back in 1999 I purchased 120 acres of tag alder thickets, spruce and fir swamps, and sandy loam filled 15-year-old white, red, and jack pine regeneration.
