Nice buck! That's a fighting rack, I like it! It's hard to guess the weight since we do not have a pic of the body, but based on what I can see, I will guess 190 field dressed.

Grizz . . .I agree with you. I love to get them in close because I know my chances of getting a clean kill increases with every step closer. I also know that the costs of human and mechanical error decrease the shorter the distance. I especially like the challenge of getting close to a deer, I mean ...

I have come to find that people get the most deer during the hours they like to hunt . . .I wonder which came first? Do they like the hours because that's when they kill the most deer or do they get the most deer because they hunt those hours?? Ha! I personally have found that deer can be taken at a...

Tye . . .I took a old piece of velco from a arm sling I had(broken collar bone) and used it to tie the quiver around my waist. I am using the quiver that came with the Right Stuff package. I keep the quiver on my lower back(behind me) with the vanes upright. As I'm walking, it's rarely in the way, t...

Normally we take more does because we are trying to thin the herd and save our crops. Here are some of the bucks . . . Here are two ni...

Just back

Just back from my annual rifle hunt in Virginia. Had a very successful hunt. My buddy and I filled all tags in 3 days. Gave a lot of meat to a couple of needy families. The smiles on their faces was priceless. This is my favorite kind of charity work!! We took 3 eight pointers, a four point and 6 do...

Someone like that can actually help you out sometimes. Last year my Grandfather came looking for me. He was yelling and blowing the truck horn. I was over the next ridge and it was windy . . .I didn't hear him. Anyway, he pushed two large does over to me. However, my cousin has allowed a friend of h...

Nice buck . . .I think you are right on with genes being a large factor to having large deer. That and the food supply. In the area I hunt the deer are getting smaller. The farming has been replaced with retirement homes. Not as much corn and clover as there was 20 years ago. Genes . . .I killed a n...
