My 2012 Ohio Buck
Took this one this year at a new farm. This is my second year hunting it. Killed a doe last year and didn't have a buck in range.
Anyway, I was hunting the other direction. We cleared some trees with a backhoe and pilled the logs up making a nice ground blind. I was sitting behind it and ended up having this 8 point come up behind me. I hadn't seen anything yet this morning but had seen 4 bucks earlier in the week. He came off the neighboring property and was sneaking into the thick stuff behind me. I had to make a quick decision as he would have disappeared quick. I actually shot him left handed. He was at 25 yards. Not a monster but not a bad buck big body. Just thought I'd share...What do you think he'll score. I've yet to put a tape on him. I don't care because he's mine already it just nice to know sometimes ....
My last buck 2007 (153")

Thanks....I like to know...but once I have pulled the trigger its pretty worthless to worry about it. I could have taken this guy with my bow...but I wasn't passing on him. BTW we think this is the same buck my daughter(16 and still hunting with me) spotted across the farm at 300 or so yards while bow hunting. She called it "her buck" Kinda wish she had shot him.
