RR how was your EHD kill, bad?  I was a bit east of you and I only saw two bucks as big as yours that weren't bloated or stinking.  One live and one beast my buddy shot.

CONGRATS ON THE TROPHY RYAN

Congrats , nice buck      

Wow, nice buck Ryan. Nice getting out hunting at the family farm.

Nice buck TURTLE! How's dad doing this year? Hope everyone is doing well.

Quite a buck...and at 4 yds, Wow!

Super buck, and great picture. Congratualtions.          

Nice buck!

Great deer Ryan.  What a giant!

Congrats on another great one bud!! How's dad's hunting going?

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

A couple questions answered - for those asking about the "old man" - he's doing well - getting out everyday, but not seeing much he's really interested in.  He's getting pretty picky with the bucks he shoots nowadays. He'll probably zap a couple does to eat later - when I'm out there to help drag/gut/process them  

Steve H - we haven't found much on the farm from EHD yet - but frankly haven't been in the deep woods/bedding areas much since late summer either (stay out of those).  Dad's friend that lives 5-6 miles away has found around 35 dead deer, 18 bucks, and 9 -10 of them being big bucks, on his farm (300 acres or so), so I'm sure we'll find some too.  Dad has several water sources so that helps keeping them from getting too concentrated.

Someone asked about the bow - this is my "Lucky Jet" -I've had it since 2010 and killed a dandy bull elk and 5 or 6 deer with it since then.  As best as I can tell it is a 1974 model...like I am!

Maddog - good to hear from you - Rob sent me an email, but haven't heard much from the rest of the crew.  Sounds like the Hitman is headed back out your way to live off the fat of the land next week - good luck in Ohio.

Ryan, great job and congratulations on a great buck.  I met your pop several times and always treasured his experience and advise, now it's great to follow your experiences as well.  I wish you both well!

Ho-hum...it is Mr. Consistency with another great buck.  Hope your Mom and Dad are doing well.      all around.
