RE: BBBD (big bodied buck) # 2 down
A few things I wanted to add that I found interesting:
He crossed my estrous scent trail and paid zero attention to it. I'm beginning to wonder if deer can tell that that stuff is not fresh from the insides of a doe?
There were so many points of highs and lows 'cause at times I thought he was in the next county due to the mere specs of blood we found. Then all of a sudden there'd be globs of bright bubbly pinkish red. He went at least 500yds total and if it weren't for the tall grass to wipe blood off his side and connect the dots in between the blood on the ground, we might've lost him.
I also think the 4 blades of the Slick Trick cutting a square hole instead of a triangle helped him bleed out more and faster as well. Like I said, I'll get up some daytime pictures tomorrow.

Thanks John, ahem I mean Mr. Bouncer, Sir! 
daytime pic added to original post. It's just the cape and head but that's all I had left when I got back into town. My brothers skinned and quartered him for me while I was gone.
My taxi said I have bucks number 3 and 15 so I'm looking at February and April. Can't wait!

Thanks Chris, yours is going prettywell too by the looks of it.
I have one buck tag left at the moment. Like I said, I made a promise to myself that if I shoulddecide to shoot a buck, any buck, he's going on the wall regardless of antler size or body weight. So, if I fill my 3rd tag this year, it's gonna be one hefty bill come spring. What do they say about things such as these? Oh yea, a blessing and a curse.
