    BRF, nice buck. Actually a buck-and-a half. I'm pleased that the little lady is not squeamish or timid about being around your deer. Does she have a bow? What was the shirtless guy doing anyway? Read where many hunters never get more that 200 yards from the road.
    Looking at the background of your shed, looks like you have been successful in the past. Thanks for the thread and photos!

    You should call that buck Meth. Because that’s what that shirtless guy was on. Meth.

    Yeah i could see my car in the tree. She loves hunting and wants a bow and shotngun for hunting. Got here a play bow for christmas. Once she gets a little size ill get her a youth bow. He was just out for a walk. The problem when your that close. But that buck actually hung up where he walked which gave me time to get in position and draw haha.

    Been out a few time. Been seeing a solid 8 on public. Playing cat and mouse with him. I’m afraid his pattern will change any day. Starting to get good bucks showing up on our cameras so will probably ditch the public land and hit private hard now.

    Shot my buck on Halloween morning! This guy gave me a run for my money on the track job. 2.5 miles and lived almost 24 hours after the shot. I’m glad I found him! Scores right at 147.

    I’ll most likely be shotgun hunting so I can spend most of December and January with the family before my deployment so he will be my only buck. I think we should use him unless you got something up your sleeve! I’d rather have guaranteed points then hopes! Plus with these 2 and one more similar size we should win this thing!

    I still have a landowner tag but isnt a garentee if ill get out or if i do if ill see a big one. New baby and only get good ones if they home a hot doe. Shot a 120 last year after missing and huge 4 with a giant spike on the other side. Cool deer but they dont score.

    I say we take it. That will put us just over 150” average right now. My buck came out at 148 4/8
