Glad to hear he's doing well.

Agree with all above, I think Prdtr meant to say book a glassing class with Duwane, probably auto corrected. Binos on a tripod are a must. 15s are the standard although some guys use 12s. I personally recomend 15s. Look up old threads on glassing, that's the most useful info to you. Southern units have way more deer then the northern units and are easier to draw. Have a good magnification scope and a caliber that can reach out there. 300 yard plus shots are sometimes all you have so be prepared.

Didn't feel like going out this morning but when I looked outside I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Walked a couple two tracks looking for tracks just to see what the deer would be doing. Saw this guy a ways ahead of me and was able to work my way up and around pop up over a slight rise and let one fly. I knew right away he was mine. I won't say how many arrows I let fly I over the last few weeks. It felt great to finally connect. Momma even came out to take pics and help me drag him out. Now I got to help momma get one!

Wow, cool find. Even that smaller one is a shooter to me with all that trash!

He's 200 all day long and then some

Congrats, only ever killed sals in our house. Great job!

Agreed, I have two of these and the head is pretty smooth. $139 off amazon

And a half..

I'm not good at scoring but I'd say almost big.

Pics can be deceiving but they look pretty Dang big! Boars or sals?

I think I just realized who you are... Congrats on your first stinkopotamus!

Man, I thought three a days were excessive.

$35 ain't that much Adam! Hahahaha

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Was pleasantly surprised when I rough scored him, he came super close to the couch buck. Based on the mass of the couch buck i would have guessed him a good 10" less but I have about a 3" difference. I guess the mass and trash was really decieving. I was already happy to cash in deer hunting for the year but now I'm even happier! Now I just need to get Pickles her first deer and help out a couple buddies!

Man, I'm surprised at how many fish tank heater horror stories I've been hearing. Thanks for the suggestions I will get a good one

She's frothing at the gash.

Awesome, super cool buck!

Thanks fellas

Never posted him before but this is the buck from the fish tank fire I just posted about in the campfire. It's been 6 years since I killed this buck and today was the first deer I killed since then.

Pic?

What about a whole extra size too big with some of those chemical warmers inside. I have insulated kenetrek with wool and still had some cold butt feet on the November kaibab hunt. Bigger boots with more room and handwarmers were where my head was at.

I like imagining what this rifle looks like

That's awesome, it's bigger than him! I hate smiling for pictures!

Congrats, sounds like a great hunt!

Awesome, love seeing kids get it done. Especially the daughters!
