The only buck I have named and killed was back in 02". I had several sightings of a super wide 8 point in early Sep. and almost arrowed him opening week, but had no shot opportunity at 30 yards. Glassing the buck I thought he had to be atleast 21 inches inside, therefore nicknamed him "Blackjack". And sure enough, on Oct. 20 2002 I put the tape on him and he measured 21 inches inside.

Small. [8D]


As far as naming them, I haven't. I just remember what certain bucks look like. If I get a big unique one on camera some day, I'll let you guys name him. I'll go pull my camera in a few days so maybe we'll have something to name.

The first buck I named and killed was a 13 point N/T that was a 8 point when he was hit by a car. He hurt his left leg when hit so I called him the Gimp. {remember the Gimp in Pulp Fiction} The Gimp disapered and we thought he was dead. Two years went by and I was shotgun hunting the farm thatI last seen him on. I was hunting in a driving snow storm still hunting thru a bedding area when a buck with a strange rack stood up out of his bed. He started to walk/gimp away from me then stoped to look back about 60 yards away. I droped him in his tracks with a lightfield special. It was the GIMP!! This buck was not seen in two years, I could not belive it was him. The bad leg made his rack go N/T. Its a cool looking rack and I think I have some pictures that I will try and post.

I call this one "beginner's Luck" since it was my first buck taken.
