Joey brother that's a hoss...way to go!!! I'm heading out to KS this Friday. The weather should have them up and moving well this early. I hope I'm as lucky. Again man, congrats.

To all the guys sayin thats gonna be tough for Joey to beat.... I don't know about that! Give it a few years and I'd be willing to bet there is another series of pics with him and an even bigger buck!

Dam, Joey! You will remember us little peons after your done interviewing with all the whitetail magazines, won't you?!

Congrats on a buck of a lifetime. Incredible to have your wife to share the experience. How manyhunting celebrities can say that?

HOLY CRAP! HE'S A BRUTE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I probably would have passed, but hey, to each his own and great buck nonetheless. [8D] (I would have been calling for my mamma had I seen that thing under my tree!!)

I love to hear about a guy who puts in the time to tag a trophy like that. I'm all for walking into the woods and stumbling across a monster, but my hat is off to the year-round hunter.

BTW, how did you and your wife decide who was going to handle the camera vs. the bow? I know what it's like to have a supportive wife - makes life quite enjoyable.

Congrats to you and your wife.

Thanks, We're only allowed one buck tag, either for Gun or Bow. So she has a buck tag for gun, and I have a buck tag for bow. So we're alternating seasons. But now it's her turn to go after a doe with her bow.

Joey,

I figured it was only a matter of time for you before you arrowed one of those giant KS bucks. I could not be happier for you and your wife. That buck is a "beast." When I first pulled up the thread the other day I was just amazed, speechless and decided to give it a day of replies before I posted a congrats. I myself wanted to take it all in.

To scout, pattern and kill a buck your targeting is tremendous. Enjoy the moment, your life will never be the same. Most hunters hunt an entire lifetime and never encounter a whitetail buck like that, let alone arrow him. My highest of congrats. Enjoy! and I will be looking forward to reading about your experience in your journals and I am sure a few articles.

Unbelievable!!! You're the man!!!

Man I tell you what - If I were on the ground and saw that monster, I think I'd climb a tree without a stand! That is a big boy - I'm glad he didn't get hold of your wife! He may have been putting on a show for her, and look what you go and do to the poor fella!

Congratulations!

The only problem with getting that deer is...

Unfortunately, you may neverget a chance likethat again, but I sure hope you do!
