Congratulations Carman . Indiana has some great country for whitetail and a lot of outdoor activities. Enjoy .

Great pic ! Looks like she’s getting her winter coat ready for the season.
Things here in Buffalo county are starting to get exciting. The Doe are splitting up and about ready for the bucks . Here’s a few pics from yesterday of a couple bucks testing each other. Another on the scent of a doe that came by 10 minutes earlier.
Good luck and enjoy your hunt G dogg!
