To start off, no it is not my buck. However, I was within two hundred yards of this buck when it was shot.

Ihave notnoticedmuch discussion here on this area now open to archery hunting. I have been hunting it regularly since the second week of the season and have seen three of the bucks harvested thus far. The pic below is of a gentleman, Phil Lathrope, who was sitting a couple hundred yards away from me yesterday evening on the Preserve. He shot this beautiful 10 point buck late in the afternoon and ended up loading the buck up next to my truck. Estimated live weight would be close to 200 pounds. This buck is about average in body size and rack size from what I have seen taken sofar.



I have been having a great last few days in terms of deer sightings and was fortunate enough to see a monster 10 pointer, different buck than Phil's, on Tuesday morning. Sadly, it did not come within range but I feel very satisfied to have just seen it.

Just thought I would share with you guys.
