Congrats again Troy, Great story.

Nice deer buddy. I wa sthe guy pming you about a month ago in regards to land we have in the panhandle and how the deer hunting is. Well I would say buy that pic, pretty good. Congrats on an awesome deer. I should be in Sandpoint 2nd week of Febuary. Going to be scouting around a bit myself out towards our property.

Thanks Everyone. Those of you that are still hunting this season, best of luck. I truely think the late season can be very productive.

SR77- Sandpoint is an nice area. I have a friend that hunts that country and has taken some real nice bucks up there. Best of luck.

awesome buck, congrats!

Man that's a beautiful buck.

Troy,

I think you've followed enough of my posts over the years to know a bit about my writing credentials... You also probably know I rarely take the time to heap superlatives on an individual's writing ability; their accomplishmentsin the field, yes -- their writing... rarely. That's not to be mean; that's just reflecting the obvious that most people get onand offthis site very quickly. Their posts are perfunctory, and intended to be so. Nothing wrong with that.

But... I have to say that this story ranksright up there with "A Mailman Delivers..." by our esteemed AntlerEater. Congratulatons on both a great buck andan extremely well-written story!

Awesome buck. Congrats!

My apologies for being so tardy in responding to your story and success.I have been looking forward to reading your storysince your post on your team thread and I must sayit was well worth the wait! Simply outstanding!

I'm not sure what your better at hunting or writing? HereI thought your skills in the woods would be hard pressed to be matched!Suffice it to say, you are at the top of the list in either endeavor. Loved the pics too!

Shooting aMonster buck with a bow.... awesome!
Shooting a second Monster buck with a back-up bow in the same season...Unbelieveable!!
Your consistent harvest of big bucks every season....Impressive!!
The contributions you make to this forum ...PRICELESS!!!!

Keep up the good work Troy....

Nice buck(s) and a very nice story as well. Congrats!

Wow, Thank you my fellow peers! I just rolled into work, turned on my pc and read your comments. I am the one learning from you fellas. Antler and MQ, I mean this when I say: I, as all of usthat usethe HNIsite.. are very fortunate to have men like you around thatshare your stories, ethics, writing skillsand knowledge of whitetail hunting. The thing that impresses me the most is the message you guys send to young hunters and about "family traditions". Thanks again to everyone whom has commented.
