Saw one last night shining.. but it was at about midnight and he bailed when I slowed down near him... no dice on the pic. :cry:

For me, it was a shooter. Probably about a 130-140-ish ten. Tall tines. Maybe about a four -year old, but tough to tell because they all look sleek now with their summer coats and lack of testosterone-fueled bulk.

Nice about when do you pick your milkweed to start to dry them out?

They’ll probably double in size, then pretty much any time.

Gotta pin down his bedding now. probably three good options, one of which would not be good, but time will tell.

Just picked up some good sized ones a few days ago on a scouting trip! Made a little cut on the pods and should be dried by season

The only trophy milkweed I ever saw was in Iowa. They even produce Booner milkweed pods. :o
