So far, there have been 4 doe's and 2 very nice buck's taken at the Welcome Property. Here are pictures of the Buck's. I took my buck on 28 October and Derek Reynolds had taken his buck on 17 November. The gun season has recently started and runs 24 November-8 December and then we'll have 5 days of Archery season, then the Late Muzzleloader Season runs December. The weather is pretty much seasonal and it is a great time to be out in the woods in search of the elusive Whitetail Deer!
