Any day of the week! Congrats on him. Did you take him with a bow or gun.

I got him with a bow in 2007 5 yard shot to his jugular he ran 10 yards and fell over. I was sitting on a downed tree on the river bank with a heavy rain coming down he came down the trail and was face to face with me before he noticed me but by then it was to late bow was at full draw.Thanks

I'd probably miss as I was falling out of the tree. Nice Buck!

Without a doubt in my mind...

Not to be a smart guy or anything but..... What kinda question is that? lol.. Who wouldn't shoot him?

blackhawk_archery 10-28-2010 07:48 PM

Well I will tell you why I ask,I have some friends that say I should of waited a year or to for the possibility of it getting to Boone and Crockett size,but I don't have much interest in that,if one comes along I will shoot it but I wont pass up a good meal to wait.

blackhawk_archery 10-28-2010 07:51 PM

Much like all you guys say I think they would have shot to,I sat on a log in the pouring rain for 3 hours I wasn't about to pass him up and be wet and cold and empty handed.

Maddog10 10-29-2010 09:08 PM

If your friends are anything like mine, they say that because they haven't seen a deer that good yet this year... A little jealousy if ya ask me lol

A "trophy" is in the eye of the beholder ...

The first thing I noticed was the Elvis picture. And since you didn't specify my answer is yes, had I been given the opportunity I would have shot him (Elvis).

Yes. Twice.

This is the heart of the matter for me, too. I get all teary-eyed seeing backstraps getting away.

Lol well I will tell you the story on them signs,I am not a elvis fan by any means no offense to anyone who is but I received all the signs for free and I got tired of them taking up space in a box so I put them on the wall.
