RE: Hope burns eternal....A buck from my county
 

Heckuva a nice deer - I have 2 around that size since I moved here 10 years ago - couldn't get a shot on either was bowhunting during rifle season

Nice colorations on the yote

Wow, thats a great buck Jeff, and that yote looks well fed to say the least. At least you that it is possible to gte a trophy close to you. Too bad you arent a few counties East and closer to Big Daddys, I saw some video he has of some incredible bucks and lots of them.

I was mistaken on the dates. They were shot on consecutive Saturdays.

cool

RE: Hope springs eternal....A buck from my county
 

That is a BIG turkey. The buck is beautiful, would look really good as a mount.

I would ave to say that he is younger than that,he looks awful streamlined to be a 4.5 yr old,and he still has a rather slim face,but a good deer regardless.

RE: Hope burns eternal....A buck from my county
 

Damn Jeff, I thought you said there weren't any big bucks there!!!

My opening words in this thread, VA.

He's a dandy for anywhere....but a giant deer for my county.

As for his age....I have photos of the deer I shot last year in August....and with his summer weight and features....he doesn't look like a 4.5yr old, either. They go through some real changes in the months leading up to the rut. The buck in this thread was shot very early in our season (I think, opening day....but I'm not certain).
