I am most proud of my first buck, a 18.5 inside spread 13 inch 9 pointer. It was the first big buck I had seen in the woods and it was the first buck I had shot at. It was 16 years ago when I was 16. I stayed calm and made a good shot of 50 yards with a shotgun.

IS'NT IT FUNNY HOW WE SPEND OUR LIFE CHASING THE BIG ONE. ALL THE WORK ALL THE TIME AND MONEY THAT GOES INTO IT, THEN YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE HUNTING AND THEIR KILL IS YOUR FAVORITE TROPHY. I BELIVE THAT IS WHAT HUNTING IS ALL ABOUT. AFTER ALL MY DAD TOOK ME AND HE COULD NEVER REALIZE HOW GREATFUL I AM.
ANYWAY, MY FAVORITE IS MY WIFES FIRST ONE.
I SPEND ALOT OF TIME IN THE WOODS JUST TO BE ALONE. AND HAVE REALIZED YOU CAN DO THAT AND STILL TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU.

I would have to say I'm most proud of the buck I harvested this past season. An 11 point that scored 153 5/8 net. P&Y. What makes him special to me is that I killed him on my farm on N.Y. where we have been under a QDM program that we implemnted 5 years ago when we bought the farm. The buck was 4 1/2 years old. Hey ks hunter I checked out your site, nice bucks.

Well I've taken some nice bucks, some nice bears and some nice pigs.
But I'd have to say out of the many bobcats I've taken, my favorite all time trophy is my 39 pound male bobcat, taken in Kern County, CA about 4 years ago. It's a really nice open mouthed rug in my den now. Taken at night after calling it within range after about 20 minutes. It's beautiful. It looks like a small mountain lion.
My taxidermist who does movie props for Hollywood etc (Bob's taxidery, Fullerton, CA) said it's the largest bobcat he's seen in over 15 years.
That's my favorite.

No question about it. The 8 pointer I got with the bow on Sept. 30th 1991, six days before my wedding. I was 20 feet up an ash tree in my loc-on and my (wife to be) was in my late uncles ground blind 50 yards away. He came in from my right. I heard him grunting before I seen him. He came across and stopped 10 ft. from the ground blind my wife was in. We had built it up real good 2 days before. He stopped and stood there for a couple of minutes. It was frosty that morning and she was afraid to breathe fearing he would see her breath. The wind was in her favor. He finally turned and headed towards me. I wouldn't of had a shot if he had gone to the right of the ground blind. Well, he got to within 25 yards. By this time I was a a bundle of nerves. I shot and the arrow went high behind his left shoulder and up into his spine. He dropped right down but I had to get down and finish him off with another shot in the boiler room. He's a very semetrical 8 with an 18in. spread. We call him GEORGE, named after my uncle who passed away 5 months earlier. He's on our wall. I will never forget that special hunt!!!
