Very cool pics

Yeah it looked like they did not like it one bit. Years ago sitting in a blind had my oldest daughter with me, she was like 8 at the time. Had a buck come in and needed him to take one more step. At the same time we could here someone on horseback coming down a nearby trail. As his head locked on to the sound it slowly turned following it and as the steps went around behind us you could see his demeanor completely change when he saw the black opening of the blind. He turned around and walked away. It was heartbreaking, would have been my biggest buck at the time. The blind was kind of brushed in, just not that well.

Just took a nice slow drive through town.

Congrats!

I take this somewhat offensively.

Unfortunately we had a fish tank fire last night. Apparently the heater shorted and started to burn the frame of the tank and the water supply line. Fortunately my wife and oldest boy were still up and went to investigate after smelling smoke so no serious damage to the house and thank GOD no one was killed. Unfortunately my buck was sitting on top of the tank due to some remodeling we were doing in the house. Luckily only the back where it secures to the wall got the most damage, slightly singed hairs on the edge but catastrophe mostly avoided. The antlers and hide have a bit of soot on them and I'm scared to just wipe it off. Suggestions?

35a? Congrats!

I have a hard time believing those numbers. I bet poachers vote.

This was in like 2014. I applied deductions and all I remember was the net score. Pretty sure he's got to though, one on the left netted 97" so I'm pretty sure.

Thanks, i love that buck! Didn't even know what I had when I got him. It was my last chance to get out for archery and was gonna shoot anything with horns. When I walked up on him my heart skipped a beat. When we measured him years back I thought you had to go by gross score. Had him at 95 7/8". Now I wanna measure him again, I'm hoping I broke the 100" mark without knowing it.

Finally got this buck back. Dude kept it longer to completely re mount it since he was new to taxidermy the first time around. Honestly didnt have any complaints but it does look nicer this time around. Happy to have him back home! Now the fireplace looks symetrical and other dude has a buddy.

Bob, hold your phone sideways for pics, when you hold it vertical the pics come out sideways when you load them.

I have zero experience in the back pack field. But when I started research I've heard having some olive oil to add to meals help add calories lightweight. But i dont really know.

Yeah the length on his tines is amazing, on a forward view he is pretty narrow but imo hes a shooter still. Hes definately got the cool factor. The wide guy got my interest too, real wide but nubs for points. Im thinking maybe he is old and in decline but his face doesnt say old so im not sure...

Crazy, i also saw my first lion on opening day. Ran out in front of me about 60ish yards. Went and set cams on some drinkers the next day to hopefully pattern it. Left a few days and checked. No cat. But since this year is so dry im gonna try and set some cams in tougher to get to spots. Maybe this year i have a chance at one with my bow. Couple deer pics from the cams

Wow!

Man i waist a lot of people juice. Langage alert!

Doug, were you able to check these out upon return?
