Way to Go BigJ....

I'm sure that buck is big bodied, you just dwarf him my friend. I didn't know you downed one but when I logged in I went straight to the Official Score Card to enter any newcomers...and shazzamm, there you be!

Nice buck and congratulations!

Way to go bigJ, nice one, and he pics are great Why do i have a feeling it takes a mighty Oak to hide you on stand matter of fact while we are on nicknames, that would be a good one for you just like Arnold Swa. (The mighty Oak)

BigJ, that buck looks a lot bigger without you sitting behind it.Congrats!!

Congrats man... im just wonderin if you really used a bow....or your bare hands...[&:]

Beat me to it! Congrats BigJ!

Thanks to all, I'm blown away!

Ya know Rob, I was posting this very thought to Germ on our team thread, Bucks never look that big with me in the picture. I know he's no slammer but he's a pretty big bodied deer. I had a time getting him into the back of my truck....well you know, maybe I had to strain a little.

If you look at him he has a very big head and neck for a young deer. While (as most of you know)I'm not a proponent of letting deer walk just for the sake of letting them grow bigger, I must admit this dude is a prime candidate because he has all the great characteristics you want to see in a young deer (I'm guessing 2.5). Great beam length, lots of space between tines with long tines and a good spread. With a few more years and more mass this dude would have been a slob.

But, I also believe in having fun and shooting what strikes my fancy at the time and this deer did just that...I couldn't be happier. I still have a buck tag and lots of doe tags so my season is not even close to over. I am going to hunt my honey hole to try and thin out some does and maybe even get a shot at a couple of true bruisers I've seen there as well.

Thanks again to all who posted.
