Damn Geno...You are a stud! Great story(s)!

Your still my hero.

"he'll be a dandy next year"....boys, that buck is beyond a dandy this year! Now I want to hear about Mr. Rothhaar's rotator recovery buck! And see pics.

Gene's thinking is flawed....see, I'm gonna draw a tag next year and I have a stand less than 100 yards from where that pic was taken  8-)

       

Gene,
You and Barry are the coolest, Thanks for sharing.

Wish we had mentors like you both back here in PA.

If you cut off 9 of that deers points and cut him loose here in NC he still wouldn't have a chance.These boys here just won't let em walk long enough to get big,dissapointing when you are one of the few that do.Glad to see they live long enough somewhere.Good luck fellas.

Gene- The last buck you passed up looks like Hurley's father. Same genetics! Mike

Great stories and pictures. Definitely would take some self control to pass up a nice buck at the end of the season. Seems unusual so many are dropping antlers before Jan. I guess the only way they feel safe walking around is with one antler, when you two are in the woods. Barry

Come on Ryan, you gotta show us the pics of that one!

Mike
I think your right he looks an awful lot like Hurly, id say same genetic line too...Awesome  Gene and Barry seems like hunting heaven out there love reading the stories !
