    Great buck! How far behind the house is that stream? I couldn't see it on the aerial. Awesome 8!

    I knew that there are big bucks everywhere!! :poke: Even in New York.

    It sounds like you are having an excellent adventure. I hope it goes on for years. Congrats on a great buck.

    Now you don't have to go to Ill anymore unless you want to. :moose:

    Nice buck man... and from our over-taxed state of NY - cool! You gotta get ahold of Joe Sevino and have that buck's story featured in his magazine.

    Congrats, Atlas! That is one HECK of a buck, especially for NY. Your property looks fantastic, and would love to see more pictures sometime.

    Good story, Atlas, and congrats on a very nice deer.

    How was the summer king fishing? Lake Michigan was incredible this past year.

    Very nice deer, I hope to shoot a good one like that in Pa here soon enough. If one of those exists in Pa.

    Thank you guys............all of you for the nice words.


    Rob.....if you're gonna miss Halloween at least it's because you are tagged out, not laid up. Congrats on another fine season in PA.

    Rybo.......your bucks story from Halloween years ago was awesome, get your butt out there!!!

    Tony.......Sorry to hear about the lows of your year but your buck tale brought a smile to my face as always. LOVE to see you continue to succeed my brother WNY'r :)

    GregH......Of course there are big deer everywhere, some places just have way more of them. I saw more deer over 140" in Illinois in a couple days then I have seen in NY in 26 years. It's all good :) and HELL YES I want to go back there, anyone who doesn't is crazy LOL. Good luck this year bud.

    Vito............didn't get out as much as I would have liked but it was a good year for kings. Lots of slobs early out on Ontario. Here's a pic of my brother with a decent king from this year.........off a wire diver rig.
