ORIGINAL: TOPDAWGWOOFWOOF Guys, We all can remember that very first buck. The feeling of harvesting an animal so majestic and strong. The reverance for the animal and the harvest. And the memory made and shared with close family/friends is one never forgotten. Special.
My question is, did your first buck demand any respect? Was it an elusive, majestic, mysterious, sneaky, Southern whitetail? Or, was it a pile of Yankee goohey pooh?
Yes I can rememeber my first buck.
(My brain has not been cooked by the southern sun)
NO it didn't appear to be
demanding any
respect - but I gave it.
(It was lying there with a big old hole blasted thru it with 1 oz. of hot Brenneke lead. It died much too quickly to be able to
demand any
respect)
Was it an elusive, majestic, mysterious, sneaky, Southern whitetail? Or, was it a pile of Yankee goohey pooh? Itwas a real buck, a true Illinois whitetail, 8 points in all. (But I
know it had
true southern genes. It was rut and he was chasing, of course - a doe that was quite a bit overweight, wrinkled like a raisin and had but two or three teeth,that of course was -his sister)
The difference between a southern deer anda "yankee" deer? A yankee deer takes more than one hand to drag it out.
Save a couple bucks, buya hat.Heads are for thinking but atleast you can get some use out of it as a hat rack.
