As I recall Mr. Hamm can handle that lenght without worrying about the lower limb connecting with the ground. If anyone ever got to witness the "Turtle bow" you'd have to admit the man can tiller anything.
Thanks for sharing the pics and info Ferret.
God bless,Mudd

Very well done. Congrats!

Yea Mudd the guys a midget isnt he.

I try to not walk beside him because he feels self consious about our height differences. :rolleyes:

If anyone wants to read a book by Jim about chasing a big whitetail they should pick up a copy of "Ishi and Elvis". Quite an entertaining read.

Very nice animal!

BMN · October 17, 2007, 09:34:00 AM

Very cool

Jeff Strubberg · October 17, 2007, 09:42:00 AM

Now that's the stuff right there...

Nice job, Jim.

Jeff Holchin · October 17, 2007, 10:56:00 AM

Now that is a beautiful buck, love those dark antlers. And Jim's "Ishi and Elvis" book is very good.

Landshark160 · October 17, 2007, 11:20:00 AM

Beautiful buck and great photos!!

To qoute Toecutter, "WOW!!"
I love the dark, tall rack on that buck! And those brow tines!! Then there's that bow!!!(Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin.)
I didn't realize at first that this is JIM Hamm. (Too busy look'n at the buck and bow.) This man's book got me started in all this. This buck reminds me of the one and only deer that I have ever taked with a bow...so far.

Traxx · October 17, 2007, 12:42:00 PM

Now,Thats the stuff,right there.

Longbowwally · October 17, 2007, 12:55:00 PM

Great buck! Wonder if this buck is one of Elvis' grandsons.....

drewsbow · October 17, 2007, 12:58:00 PM

Ghost Dog · October 17, 2007, 02:10:00 PM

Very nice. Jim is one of my trad heroes.

revharry · October 17, 2007, 04:09:00 PM

Yrs Jim shot a nice Buck. I hope he saved a few for too short and myself as we will be there next week. Later, Harry

Jim Hamm · October 17, 2007, 04:49:00 PM

Thanks guys and gals for the kind words. In one sense, I've been hunting that buck for 40 years, and it's an humbling experience to actually get him with a stick.

Now, I'll have to really sharpen my act and try for another buck that size or bigger.....

Jim

Harry - Hope you and Too Short are taking an aspirin a day for blood thinners, 'cause I think once again you'll find sitting in a stand here interesting...

Ted Fry · October 17, 2007, 05:09:00 PM

Congrats Jim, good luck on the that size or bigger idea.

Brian Halbleib · October 17, 2007, 05:36:00 PM
