Within 2 weeks, I have found 2 dead bucks one floating in small lake (spike) another large 8 point buck in velvet same spot on bank of lake. lst smaller buck had what I though was scuff marks (legions?) secound deer buzzards had started eating, shame large rack, nice deer. Plan on ridding the whole ridge this week and checking all the small ponds.

We found a doe in a back water pool and a 6 point buck 30 yds. from the Meramec River. There has been 5 similar reports in a 3 mile river frontage.
