Cool. I'll send you Luke's buck, Keith Riehn's... uh.. Deb's 'buck' and her does. (she's tagged five deer so far)
JohnnyB, do you have a picture of you with your deer?

Nice job, Steve. I guess I haven't posted anything here yet.
November 2nd, Columbia County, WI. 13-yard shot right broadside shot, double-lung pass through, 33-yard recovery. He left a blood trail Stevie Wonder could have followed, but since I watched him fall over, it was unnecessary.
Small rack but decent body. About 170# field dressed. What I especially like about this one is that he's the first buck I've ever shot that I had on a trail camera. Of course, I didn't realize I had the pictures until a couple days later (once I had already sawed off the skull cap). So instead of a Euro mount, I'm going to do a simple antler mount with a plaque containing a before and after photo.

Great job you guys. Keep em coming.
I should have had one to post, but I left her sit over night because I wasn't sure of the hit and the coyotes got her. That's the first deer I've killed that I didn't recover. Kinda messes with ya.

Well ole KBI-Prez wacked a very nice 9pt yesterday afternoon. The very same deer that i had watched all afternoon chase a doe across the ravine from me. He circled the woods and walked up to 10 yds of ole 'Smoke pole' himself. Dropped him with a double lung, heart shot. Did not have a scale but he was over 200 # for sure. He really filled up the deer cart and back of the 4wheeler. He seen 24 deer all together, and I seen 17. but i let all my friends shoot the big deer. I see that Snuffy and his granddaughter just pulled up to give it a try too. I got to go make the donuts so cannot hunt until this afternoon. Pictures to follow
