Big Buck Missed
 
I thought you all would like to see the buck my husband has been scouting and missed.His arrow went right into a tree limb. Here is a picture from his trail cam just before bow season.





He took this picture just after dark.

Did you wrap it in bacon and throw it on the grill or make a stew?:D

That sucks! Be sure to marinate the tree though, I have had problems with it being too tough. Pair it with a nice bottle of Merlot!:D

Good luck retrieving that broadhead. I find that lemon pepper really tenderizes tree limbs well plus it get's rid of that woody taste.

Wow! Great buck, I'm sorry he missed. That looks like a 2.5-3.5 yr old tree. Think of what it would have been next year! He should have let it walk!! :D

I have one of those!





Mine ended real good, though.....just 3 weeks later!




(beofre the ethics police arrests and accosts me.....the arrow deflected off of a vine and I found it in this tree the following season);)

That was a dandy buck! I once did that to my brother, crawled the tree and got his arrow and the branch it was stuck into and gave it to him for Christmas!

I just got back from a hunt that I scored on a small twig,at 10 ft. I am not sure how to have it mounted .You should have see the buck that was 20ft. behind it ,It would have been my best around 150''.How long befor the sower belly filling goes away?

Walt,I hope he doesn't mind. I might be in trouble! I guess I will have to post this love of his life to make up for it.

Steve, great gift to give.

Ouch, I'm feeling his pain. That is a beauty of a buck. I like the mount though.

Man that had to hurt, your husband, not the tree.:D

thehunterswife 12-18-2007 08:02 PM

RE: Big Buck Missed
 
Yes it has hurt him. I haven't heard the end of it. If someone who hasn't heard the story comes around I beg that they don't ask him how his deer seasonis going.
