man, that's a nice bull. heck, any bull is a good bull! That would be the hunt of a lifetime for me. congrats!

The last ten times I've been out I've only seen 1 stinking deer. To make things worse that deer had just been shot by my buddy. the 4pt died about 40 yards later.

Nice pics ME! ;) Looks like one heck of a bull. Are you getting him mounted?

I went out again this morning and only saw 1 deer. A little 4pt buck which is illegal in my area. Going to head back out tomorrow.

Not going to get him 'mounted' yet...to expensive for a poor college kid :eek::eek: I am planning on trying out a european mount which will only run me about $250. If I do that I will still have all my options open if I want to get a full mount down the road or even just an antler mount...I cant decide if I will like a moose euro mount or not...so what the heck...might as well try it. If it looks like an old western movie then I will try something else

Thanks for all the good words...now its time to focus on whitetails again!

I can only imagine the cost to have that moose mounted. But I can understand needing the $$$. I was once a college kid myself. I was lucky enough just to be able to afford equipment. ;)

Yeh tell me about it, I am still getting by with my PSE nova that I got 5+ years ago....although there has been a lot of salivation on my part over those darn switchbacks!

I am not complaining though...I have a good enough summer job to be able to pay for my college up front and not have to deal with loans; so its all good!

Oh yea...the moose was going to run me 800-1200 bucks [:@]

RE: Official Team Rack Masters (17) Thread!!!
 

Ouch! For that much I'd probably go with a new bow and accessories! Having the moose mounted would be awesome but that is alot of cash!

Well guys, Cabelas is OPEN! It's less then a mile from my house. The traffic is horrible, but the store is awesome. Picked up some necessities: tinks scent bomb, face paint, and new tru-talker (I think I wore the old one out). Plus, I looked at the muzzleloaders(it's my xmas present from my wife, sssh don't tell her) So, shopping is going good, hunting is by far the worst it's ever been for me. I'm taking Friday off to hunt and I'll probablyget out tonight. I can't believe I can't even get a doe. ugh!

Hope you all are having better luck then me...

RE: Official Team Rack Masters (17) Thread!!!
 

Wow, 1 mile from home? I'd be in so much trouble. LOL I have to drive about 75 minutes to the one in WV. ;)

I hope things pick up for you RackLuster. I had a similar season last year where it just seemed like nothing was moving and if I did see a deer it was always out of range.

RE: Official Team Rack Masters (17) Thread!!!
 

Thats awesome about cabelas being so close...I wish they would open one up in New England somewhere...all we have is LL Bean (its okay but becoming more clothing than hunting) and they are way overpriced on most things!

Sorry to here about the tough year Rack...the rut is right around the corner, hopefully that will spark some action for you

I will be getting out tonight as well, so hopefully I will have a good story to tell when I get back

Good luck all!
