Nice Buck

[PutnamHonigford]

This is a BIG buck for my area and i was thrilled when i got my camera this mourning. Hopefully i can stick him!

Good luck on harvesting him.. He'd make a nice trophy.. I know I'd be happy as could be if I got him here in North Central West Virginia.. What area are you hunting in?

i am in north west ohio. it is very flat here and people just shoot anything that is brown. we have the genetics to grow big deer, they just never get a chance.

Same problem we have here.. "If it's brown, it's down.." That's what kills all chances of getting trophy whitetails in an area.. Not to mention that in WV, you can take up to 3 Antlered Deer in a year.. I wish our state would follow some of the guidelines that PA or OH does, because as you said, we have the area for nice deer, they just never get the chance to make it to maturity..

hes a nice main frame 8 with a sticker it looks like, but he looks realy young,,,just think what he would look like in 4 or 5 years when hes mature.i know central west part of wva is covered up with deer,,so you have to kill quite a few to keep the herd in check...i dont know about kentucky but wva has the deer no.s to kill 3 a year and still be covered up with em at least neer my mother in laws area..they have so many she cany even have flowers...they come right up to the porch and eat her mater plants

yeah he looks pretty young. but around here. there is no way he will make it through gun season.
