He'll be tough, but that is why they invented marinating... We are lucky to have good genetics in our area, and our place now acts like a magnet for does, so some of the up and coming bucks make it through those at a different place in their hunting saga. Saw one of the big tens today back in one of the thick spruce groves we planted back 20-25 years ago. Did not get a good look at him though. Hope that he stays close during the gun season (wishful thinking if the rut is on).
