Well guys, as I said, we do not pass very many legal bucks in our local hunting area. I did connect on a "management" buck over the weekend. He has a very unique (small) rack. The deer is not a 1.5 year old buck for this area. They usually weigh between 90 and 120lb in our area. This buck was 141lb and had a larger than normal head and hoof on him for a young deer in our area. I'm not sure if he had been injured or was going down hill... can't figure it out... butcher threw away jaw bone, so i couldn't age him. I will email pics to teammate to post. I taped him out at a whopping 42.5". I have to register him as contest rules state first legal buck taken with bow.

Congrats on the buck, MA Hunter! Way to put one down!

And, congrats, FSH, on your doe. Seems that you have quite the companion in Ruby. I wish my dog (Lab/Border Collie/German Shepherd mix) could track like that. He just gets too distracted. As my vet put it, "I deal with dogs on a daily basis. Bruin is the most energetic/excitable dog that I have ever seen." Must have the dog version of ADD/ADHD.

Browtine has not submitted a picture to the contest thread with the deer, bow and himself in the same picture. Until that happens his buck will not count.

Congrats on the Buck WMA.

Congrats WMA Hunter on the buck and others on putting meat in the freezer and points on the board. I'm chomping at the bit for my 5 day hunt with the boy scout crew I'm taking to my property in 8 days. Always a good time. Last year we hung two deer and the group saw many more including several bear and wolves. Hope the cool rainy weather returns as hunting three weeks ago in the 80's was a waste of time.

sent SoutherMDArcherer an email w/ buck pic...
