My 2002 season pictures Bow/Rifle
Well... As 2002 comes to an end, I wanted to share the pictures of my harvest. It was the best season I've had all my life as I had enough time to hunt hard both with a bow and with a rifle. Being out at the right time sure paid off big time this year.
Here's a picture of my first buck killed with a bow. He was a mature 11 pointer. He's being shoulder mounted right now.
Here's a picture of the largest buck I've harvested with a rifle so far. Nice 8 point buck. I harvested him about 250 yards from where I harvested the 11 point buck the week before.
Both were harvested in private property, no high fences, and no trophy fees. I'm blessed to have family with good land I guess.
I hope to have another great year sooner or later. I don't know if this year will be beaten anytime soon. It was a year to remember for me regarding deer hunting. I will cherished this season for as long as I hunt. They're not the monster bucks you see on the internet, but they're big enough for me.
Happy New Years'

I've only got one thing to say, HOLY CHRISTMAS!!!!! LOL What do you mean they're not the monster bucks? That 8 point could hang on my wall any day! And the 11 point ain't bad either. Congratulations my friend. I'm jealous as ####!

RE: My 2002 season pictures Bow/Rifle
I am having the 8 pointer's antlers mounted. I have another 35-40 years of hunting on me, so I figured there is a chance I can get a bigger one with a gun....
The one with a bow, it was a different story. Him being the first one, and being a 11 pointer, I figured my 'number' came up and the odds of getting another one bigger are not as good as with a rifle.

Congrats on the deer. I can't see the pictures, but they both sound like great trophies!
