    Shed on the left is 2 yrs old, scored 74" and is on a property I just got access to and soul permission, Very excited about it!

    All over.... Madison, Franklin, Deleware, Licking, Hocking, Perry, Ross, Pickaway & Athens... lol pretty much anywhere I can strike good land. Try to mix it up and not burn out to many hunting spots, chaising the older boys...

    Well despite my best efforts to top it this looks like my biggest one of the year...super cool and heavy. I have this same side from last year and he put on 16" on this side this year. He is #1 on the list for next year so far...named him Sidewinder last year and I was super excited to find this set. Definately my favorite from this season. 76 3/8.

    Thanks guys! Yeah he was one we hoped we didn't have a close encounter with last year. But based on his sheds we were underestimating him. Crazy how mis-leading trail cam pics can sometimes be. We were guessing him maybe 150 and he was probably more like 165. The sheds are actually missing probably 4" off the left G3 and another 3-4" kicker off the right side that we can see in some of his pics. Pretty sure these are his 3 year sheds so he should be really cool this year. Hope he keeps adding NT stuff this year!!

    Not this years but I thought you'd love to see the pair my friend picked up in 2008 and the buck is still alive! He was much larger 2009, perhaps as much as 10"

    188" of typical bone
