@Stocky, I lived out on the plains so you picked up your whitetail tags about 4-6 weeks after harvest. Deer were always grain finished eating grain fallen on the ground, corn and soybean. Carcasses could have over an inch of fat down the backsteaks and rump.

They don't seem hard to kill more hard to put down quickly. They can be very chill being shot and will stand and soak up shots. However if one goes they can travel very well. Shooting a moose standing still seems to have them stay there or pretty close. They didn't seem too afraid of the shoot and are often coming in to a call so will actually come back in after being shot to see where the girls gone. But the ones that get shot walking or have already busted you by smell don't seem to want to stop.

They are tasty animals. Mine was up in Muley Sage brush country I was actually after a Muley but you don't turn down any mature Buck in the Area I was hunting.
