re: Davis Island

More deer (and big deer) than you can imagine.

My brother was invited there several years ago. He brought a video camera, since the standards for shooting a buck are so high, he figured he wouldn't see anything big enough to shoot.

He ended up killing a 168" buck the first day. A freaking monster. The damn thing about it was the buck was missing a G2, which was forked into 2 12" tines on the other side. Might have been a 180" or bigger had that not been broken off.

It was during the rut, and he got video the next day of 14 bucks in a line trailing a hot doe.

Expect a bunch of rules. They have big fines for shooting deer too small, coming off the stand early, and a bunch of others. I think he said the rule book was 100 pages or something. Nevertheless, enjoy the trip. That's a fine place from all accounts.
