Just another quick update. A biologist buddy of mine aged the deer today and said he was actually 4.5, which makes me feel even better about harvesting him, although I've slept pretty well the past two mornings regardless. Anyhow, I'm ready for the rest of the team to get in the woods and enjoy this great time of year.

Thats awesome, Kelly! Great deer! Is that the same buck from the trail cam? Sorry not to post sooner, just got back home from a 3 day trip. Congrats, Kelly!
Hey guys, 5 more days for us here in Georgia! Hope to fill a doe tag, i'm ready for some deer jerky.
Awesome buck Kelly, glad to see some Kentucky boys putting some bone on the ground! Next time you come by the shop, bring a picture. By the way, who does your bow work???????????????
Let's keep the spirit up (and us off the 2nd page!!) Looks like we're now in 2nd place by 2/8 of an inch!!! Season starts here in 10 days!! WooHooo. Gotta get at least 1 doe 1st then the big boy is mine....all mine..............errrr....hahaha...............
Congrats to Kelly on a great looking buck. Sorry, I haven't been on here in a while. I have been busy starting a QDMA chapter and hosted a banquet. I had been getting pictures of a good 4.5 yr. old basic 8pt with 3 kickers. He would gross in the upper 140's. I had bush hogged Sat. & Mon. evening I had put a camera out. I went to check the camera Tues. evening.(due to the fact I had left the keys in the lock on the camera) I smelled something dead. I investigated and found him dead within 100 yds. of where I had placed the camera. I went home got the saw and went back and got the rack. I know his age by the split in his ear and have serval pictures from previous years. I think EHD (blue tounge) was the cause of death. He was laying on the creek bank. The good news is that I still have at least 2 more that will go over the 140 mark. If nothing happens to them.

I sure don't know Travis, some local nut job...I didn't know you were on this site. I'll bring in a pic the next time I come in.
Everyone's clock is a ticking away to opening morning, except you LI, you should be in a stand already. How did the QDMA banquet turn out anyway? Everybody take care and I agree let's keep us off the second page.
