D16 2023

[Rocked and Loaded]

Hoping we get a few reports from the field.
I’m sitting out opening weekend (crowds, drama) but will be out stalking a D16 buck by next weekend.
Any reports? Shots heard? Bucks in trucks?

I saw a couple guys hauling out a deer but I couldn’t see it well.

Heard a few shots.

I’ve only seen does, a coyote, and a bobcat so far. Hoping for some evening luck.

I killed the last 3x3 in d16 back in 2019. He was the last of his kind.

Found a lot of deer. The 15yo went low and left on one last night. We will be back at it the next 2 weekends. Something is going to die.

Nope, but it sure helps hunting private in SoCal these days...........

ps....The best "40 acres" in SD is just a shadow of it's once proud self....Between lions and a caretaker that let's his friends shoot anything has really hurt both the deer & turkeys....Best buck on the prop and he may be dead....I didn't see him yesterday or on cams....
