Oh yeah sorry about the pics they're from the Cam Phone. Better pictures on the way

AWESOME MAN! good lookin buck, nothin wrong with fudging standards a little for a buck that nice.

lets see the rest of them pics. . .

Great job Mantis, that is awesome, you have had one heck of a year!!

SAAAWEEET!!!! Congrats bud, it sure has been one heck of a year for you. Thats a great buck. Congrats again and way to hang in there.

Thanks guys! Should give us(and Bro's) around 110pts. What do you think about a deer lasting 20 min with a broadhead inside his heart?It's all I could think about last night.

Edit: Maybe it wasn't quite20 min but it was a stretch.

Great Buck Mantis, What character, nice rack and a few kickers. I like the darkness of his forehead! Very Nice..!

I duuno fellas...I'm burnt out! I've hunted the last 12 days straight! (after work on weekdays)

The action has ground to a halt! Does seem to be back together..chasing seems to be over. I even had an Old doe with 3 yearlings (2 BB's and a young doe). Come in Saturday at 7:30..only deer I saw ALL day. I had drawn on the BB as he and his sister walked in first.He turned and I saw he was a BB, so I swung onto his sister. Had to wait for her to clear a limb..out of the corner of my eye, on their backtrail I see more deer coming. The mother and another BB. I let down. Wait on MOM. She comes in feeds under me, finally offer a shot, she sees me..starts walking off..I draw she never gives a good shot. I let down. She didn't spook but she saw me and didn't care for the blob in the tree!

So at 1:00 I climb down with a good wind to hunt the Piebald farm. I drive over there!I get there and ALL the corn is down! Every last stalk! ..so I get there knowing I'll see nothing for 3 hrs ..and thats exactly what happens. The only thrill was the Great horned Owl that swooped in and sat in a big dead tree for a few minutes.

I'm outta the woods tonight and probably tomorrow..I've hunted hard..I've passed up chances and I really feel it's gonna be late seaon before another one come along!

Youth GUN season this weekend and I couldn't hunt Saturday anyway. Then the day after Thanksgiving, I'll be off to Camp in PA for a week of Gun season with good friends and family. It's always a ton of fun! I hunt all seasons all weapons..I'll carry an Inline rifle for the gun season. I still like to make it challenging to some extent.

Here'sa couple pics my bud just sent me.

Great buck MM,

I have a tally, we were down 341 to 338 before yours and dm's bucks!

Viva la Bros!

Alright guys, since I messed my first Germ Warfare picture, here you go. I shot a decent 9 pt tonight, maybe 3.5 or 4.5 year old. My buddy (please excuse his ears) stuck an 2.5 year old 8pt hunting the same property, was a good day. Here is the post, must see the pic, too funny.
