Got a chance at my first trad kill and finally made good on it. Got this 5.5yr old cull buck that needed to be removed bad off our family ranch on November 7. ABout a 10 yrd shot - 100 yrd recovery. Went in the second to last rib and out the armpit
. . . . ok, how do I post a pic?
How to post pics using photobucket (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=129;t=000087)
Please use the "preview post" button before hitting the "add reply" button. Then you can fix your mistakes before the rest of us can see them.
or email them to me and i will post them, but YOU really need to learn how. If i can help, send me a pm or email.
Congratulations...and looking forward to your pictures!
And here is an alternative to photobucket...
The site is called Imagelinky, http://www.imagelinky.com/ You will still need to resize your pictures before uploading them, but this site will allow you to skip the whole photobucket transfer step. 1.) Resize all pictures to be posted to 640 pixels wide 2.) Open http://www.imagelinky.com/ 3.) Select the "Browse" button on the Imagelinky site. A window will open. 4.) Go to the place on your computer where the picture is stored, select the picture file and click the open button. 5.) From the Imagelinky window click the "Upload" button. Three boxes will appear. 6.) Copy everything from the third box "Forum Link" 7.) Paste everything that was copied into the Trad Gang message box and select "Preview Post" The picture should have transferred. Repeat steps 3 – 6 to add more pictures.
congrats
Congrats will be watching for pics.
Grats!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to see the pic....
Way to go... Congrats
Congratulations! Welcome to the family.
Congrats, or you could just email them to some one to post for you. But it is not hard at all.
Congrats on your first trad buck kill.
Congrats.
Is "cull buck" a Texas term?
Every deer I've killed has been a pretty special deer....usually a dumb deer but special. A deer that lives for 5 1/2 years in Texas is probably pretty smart.
Congrats!! Waiting for a pict.

Lost arra, 'Cull' has nothing to do with the personal trophy IMO - it's just that this is a buck we have been trying to harvest for a couple years as we don't want him passing his genetics. We got one of his sons last year, and he had the exact same formation only smaller.
Very nice Roger. What is the make/model of the stick?
I would call that a COOL buck not a "cull" buck!!!

Very cool buck. He has probably sired and passed his genetics on to another 15-20 bucks in his five years. In turn they are now spreading the genetics on...
Or...is there a knucle-headed doe that he sired that is passing on those antler traits? Hmmm... :jumper:
Congratulations either way! Cool trophy.
Congrats!!! :thumbsup:
"Very cool buck. He has probably sired and passed his genetics on to another 15-20 bucks in his five years. In turn they are now spreading the genetics on..."
Thanks for the reminder ;) hopefully he hasn't been that successful with the ladies as we keep a pretty tight buck:doe ratio.
Congrats Roger!

He is a cool looking buck.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Congrats on your first trad harvest!
Txnrog:
Yep, he needed gone. What is your B/D ratio and where is the land located?
I don't expect ya to "give up the farm" here.. Just interested.
Were at a 1:1 buck:doe ratio, but we've let it slip closer to 1:2 as we've got a number of exotics (they are free roaming all over the area) and as we held the WT population down and had about 2 drought years, they 'filled the gap' so to speak, so we're trying to knock the exotics back and grow the wt population back up a bit.
nice buck! we have one using my dads stand just like that, only he has one half of his rack completely gone. maybe a fight?
Nice job Roger, and I understand where you are coming from with the QDMA. Some guys just take offense when you start saying things like "Inferior" and "Genetics" but I don't....I get it completely. Beauty and Trophy are both in the eye of the beholder and I can be just as happy with a doe, a spike, a fork horn, or a 12pt. brute cause I have taken all sizes, all genders and they were all great memories. I just wish I could seem to do that with my Trad bow...but it will eventually. I just keep plugging away at it, and it'll happen.
Bottom line.....if you want bigger bucks you gotta let the little guys walk and get the trolls outa the herd. I just wish I had the amount of property to control my herd better.
I assume you are in the Hill Country if ya got that many exotics.
If you had a 1:1 you were kickin butt.... Hope ya get it back
that is a great way to start your bow hunting memories.
Congrats!
:thumbsup:
Nice picture Roger! Congratulations again! i love your cull buck. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I am waiting till i can post a picture. that is one pretty bow you have there
:thumbsup: Congrats!!!
