Title: Good one still walking!!!!!
Post by: leatherneck on December 20, 2010, 11:25:00 AM
Got two pics two days in a row(12-15,16) of this boy. He's still holding both sides. For now that is. Hopefully he'll keep em for a couple weeks so I can try to get an arrow into him.

This pic is of the second day. Then the turkeys filled my card up. Not sure how many other times he came through here. The pic is taken about 20 yards off a cut corn field.

I was actually surprised to see him this close to a field only 2-weeks after gun season. The top pic was taken at 5:07 pm and the bottom pic was taken at 4:46pm. Alot of daylight left with those times!  :goldtooth:  
My stand is actually right over the hill behind him. I have to move it though cause the wind in that spoil doesn't like me there. I'm going to have to put it on the field edge. We shall see.

Lord what a great buck.  Play your hand close to your vest....

This is from experience, If you get him down, DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT put a lot of pressure on those horns... nuf said

He is worth ever moment of time you can spend...

Outstanding.

My season ended yesterday at sunset watching a "roundhead" and his/her mommy in range.  Very late for such a little one.  I said "Merry Christmas" and watched the tails disappear and then I headed for home.  Maybe in two or three years I'll see the little scrapper again.

Hope Ma educates well about cars and coyotes but kind of skips over hunters.  ;-)

I hear ya! But it really doesn't matter unless your going to enter a deer into the books. I've never cared to enter any of my deer so if they come off,so be it. A good taxidermist can get em back where they belong. My 8 year old nephew just shot a good buck the other day and both sides fell off when it hit the ground. It happens!

Longbowben and Leatherneck...

Sure seems early for them to start droppin.  Ours seem to be pretty "tight" still.

Shame about your son's deer.

I'm going to give it a shot. Just hope I don't see a big deer and look down to see two spots on his head.  :scared:  
This is an evening spot and I work afternoons. I think I might be a little sick Thur. afternoon.

If you do kill him measure his spread exactly before you pull on him.

Be a shame not to be able to put them back where they belong.

You guys that hunt them great big bucks ain`t fooling me...at least half the hunter in you hopes they live another year.

It`s just a bucks` bad luck if he happens to walk in range of the "other half" of the hunter in you that day.

Awesome deer! Good luck!

Nice just knowing a deer like that is around.  I haven't seen a deer that big since my hunting partner killed the one we were pursuing back in Sept.  And I think yours is actually bigger.  Good luck.
