Still would, 80" on one side is a huge accomplishemnt for any buck anywhere. That shed i found valentines day, scored 81 1/2, and if i saw a deer walking through the woods with JUST that, knowing he was a 3.5 or older, i wouldnt think twice about shooting. My goal was to stop shooting young bucks and go for the more mature whitetails, that would qualify.
Well I got to say neither then. 120 in NW MO are pretty common. That's why I said put on 30 more inches of bone then I wouldn't have a problem with either.
Lol, i missed that right spelling, kudos :D I would always wonder how a man with 24,000 combined posts on websites that i visit frequently over a 3 year period could still put an "O" in my name :D Just for fun,
I would take any deer that has 80" on one side. So number 2 for me please. Can you deliver to my stand by October 3rd?:D
Are you going to tell me my goals are impossible? Out of reach? Ive SAID, that my goal for 09' is a mature buck, or, in recent weeks as i have though about it, a "good representation of the species (a nice little one you like to use from time to time)). Reason being that i might take a chance at a nice 2.5 year old buck....no shame there, since my only buck bow kill is a 1.5. Ive come to the point in my archery career (going on 4th year), that i would like to start being more selective of the bucks i try to take. Plenty of does to go around in Ohio for meat, which is an issue with me and my family (rather large). I dont see anything wrong with that? Do you? :D
I would rather have a Rob buck because they are unique for these parts.. I would shoot either though :D
LOL. :D You know how I swing! For a Rob buck to score 120", he'd be twice the buck that a typical 120 would be. (looking) I'd choose number 2! How will this year turn out?
80 inches of antler is something on one side of a deer. Figure from the side he'd look like a 170 class animal. I'm killing him. #2
Here's your Rob buck in question. :D It hung on the wall at the outfitter I was at in IL. Would you shoot? :p
I hope to next year 2010. It was amazing and even though the buck I missed will surely be gone, I have a debt to pay to one of them bruisers! :D
That was one of my favorite threads last year. Plenty of video/pictures/etc...the kinda stuff we love to see :D
