NEB I have no doubt that they will get their first deer, I hope next season will be the one, the only thing I worry about is after they have downed one with their own hands how they will handle it. Actually I consider myself a persistant hunter with a bit of skill. They have been scouting and sitting on stand with me during gun season for 2 years now, they have drug, dressed, skinned and butchered deer, they have not been in on a kill yet, I hope at least one of them can be in on one befroe the end of this season.

NY Bowhunter the wind was blowing a gale after the sun went down that day, I was glad I had him drug out and in the truck before it started.

Rack he had a little bit of mass, but nothing I would call even close to impressive.

Good luck to you on your remaining tags. I'm sure that they will be ecstatic after seeing their dad take down a nice deer. It will bring the experience full circle for them. The first deer, I think you always react a little negatively about, but then you realize just how much of an impact that hunters make and realize that if we weren't here controlling the population, the deer numbers would increase beyond the carrying capacity and there would be far too many deer/vehicle collisions and more disease adn death of these fine animals. We, as hunters, keep nature in check. You may just have to prod the girls a little bit more after their first kill, or they may the exact opposite and may want to take another one right away. Heck, they may even want to take your deer. That's always the shame of it all.

NEB they would be excited about a doe which unless it is the big 6 point is what I am hoping to get, a whole lot better eating. I know some folks think I am crazy for wanting a 6 pointer, but you would have to see this one to beleive it, and yes he is a natural 6 point and is at least 6 1/2 years old.

Heck, if this buck's as big as what you're talking about, I think that any of us would love to take one like that. Good luck on getting him. Hopefully he will be in your truck before the end of the year. I suppose you don't happen to have any pictures of him, do you? If so, I would love to see this monster.

Folks I am out of here until Monday, I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas.

Nice buck Taz. Congrats. Way to go on getting the girls into hunting too!

Taz, congrats and good luck this weekend!

I've heard this secret......use pink camo, deer are attracted to it!

Nice buck!

Tazman,

Congrats on your buck. I would like to see a pic with Tazman "the hunter" in it though. he, he He who says that your crazy for taking that buck is confused. If the buck is on it's way down, there is absolutely no shame taking an animal like that. Taking "mature" animals is the name of the game. Once again, congrats!!
