Planter, Great buck. You da man! But, what I am impressed with the most, is the fact you took the time and trouble to help your friend get in a good stand and was pulling for him to score one. That's very noble of you planter, I'm proud to know ya for that. Good going man.
On the scoring thingy, I'd say at healthy 122 and that's being conservitive. Great buck none the less.

Congrats John! That buck has some good mass too! Glad to here you help someone out and you was able to connect on a great deer! Sounds like we are all tearing it up in the last week or so! It's good times guys!!

RE: This season has been a smoker!!!
 

Sounds like the big hunter in the sky rewarded you for helping out your friend. Great deer. Have no idea on the scoring and to answer your question we have not been seeing many big deer on our lease. It has been really hot and just started cooling off in the past 3 weeks or so. We had a bunch of young uns out for the youth hunt and we only took 3 deer.......

I think the fact I helped my bud out got the approval of the deer gods.

We enlisted help but never found the doe he hit. We had great blood and bumped her out of bed but I could not convince him that we should come back and NOT keep dogging a wounded deer. He was too excited to listen to a little common sense but I know he had a great day. He also missed a 15 yd shot on a yote.

I'm gonna work a little more with him. I have a few great stands I have not even sat yet which is amazing. If the wind drops this afternoonI have a big pop-up blind I can get him into where I found a couple of great sheds right out the window. The good part about this stand is that I will have to go and bring him back out. That way I can make him sit until it is as dark out as my wifes heart....

Gonna take him out monday tooand put him in another tree. I have a place .25 miles away where I can hunt Yotes with the rifle. They think their gonna be snacking on gutpile but I'm thinkingsomething different.

Its hard for alot of guys to learn this. It only took me a couple of next day track jobs to learn to sit tight Give him time and keep working with him. He will come around after time.
