you better pump some lead into him!

Is copper OK?

I have to find him first. I have the trail camera out, trying to figure out where he's hanging. I had it in an overgrown clear-cut this weekend and got 93 pictures of does, fawns and little bucks. This week it's at a clover plot. Hoping he shows up somewhere.

We've been weighing all our deer for the last few years so we're getting a little better at guessing. This one weighed 182lbs dressed.

Definetly need a barnes bullet for those hogs!!!

Don't expect the rack to have the misssing G3 next year. It woud be rare for that to occur.

I'd shot him this year ifyou get a good look.

What do you think he could score if he had both G3s? He looks to have very long main beams, decent tine length and good spread. This year he could add a few inches in all those departments plus mass.

I'm thinking he could easily make P&Y, even with the non-typical points. I think I'll put up a score thread?

Hunting is not just about one buck

What if you harvested the greatest buck in your state, when you were 25.

What would you do on your deer hunts in your thirties, forties and fifties. Would you still be hunting?

Every buck is different and unique. If I harvested the biggest buck in the state when I was 25 I would certainly still be hunting. If you broke the state record for a certain fish species, would you quit fishing?

The question doesn't make much sense. I'm pretty sure Milo Hansen still hunts. He probably hunts doe, too.

It's just fun to know there's a big buck on your property. Makes time in the stand more exciting. It also helps to pass the time in July.
