Hey PA...nice buck for sure! That looks like a pretty big body too...but of course next to your big butt it's hard to tell for sure [8D]I had to laugh at that moronic statement about something being small and young. It's not a small young deer, and you surely ain't small and young. Maybe it was a small young brain doing the thinking and typing...

I have to give you credit...getting up that early to battle the masses, cudos to you. I don't think I could do it. I would have to find some private land, to remain sane. I have no idea how you could handle hunters 50yds from you.

One question....how do you think the ar's are working up there for you guys? As far as I can tell, it looks like they are making things much better...at least from what can I see from the outside.

Just curious....would you have shot the first buck if you were allowed? Not being allowed, may have helped you get the big one. Thats a good promo for QDM right there. Either way, it worked out for the best for you...great job! Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of the season...and get some meat!
