Shooter bucks? Drawing any lines in the sand this year?

I'm thinking 3.5/130", unless I can get a shot at my "chin strap" buck (3 or 4 points on one side, deformity on the other that curves down and under his chin)...

I passed on a couple of 120ish bucks last season... and ate tag soup! Hoping not to repeat but I'm sticking to my guns again this season

 

How did Pops do last year?

 

Another slammer, plus a moster from Nebraska... I'll text u pics later this evening. He never gets 'em scored, so give me a guess, when you see them. I'll send you front and profile pics

 

I don't blame you a bit on that buck, true giant! any live pics or sightings of him this summer/fall?

 

With a bow I'm shooting the first legal buck I get an opportunity at. With a gun I'm much more selective.

 

Ive got five more tags and I aint afraid to use them. but when I get to my last buck tag I will try and hold out for a pretty good buck it dosent need to be a monster.

 

Pressure! The PRESSURE is killing me. lol

I did just put up a stand today on a new farm that I didnt even hunt last year. Lots of scrapes already. I put up a couple of cameras and crossed my fingers! If I win the contest for you, you gotta get me an elk or bear or very large ground squirrel. Deal?

 

My wife saw him when se was working on the neighboring property. Atleast she thought it might be him. She said" he was huge and had lots of those pointy things":D
I hunted there on Sunday, that was the first time I was there since March. Trying to keep it pure until it's time.

 

I've got three that I know of that really draw my interest.

 

I have lines.... I always strive for my best buck to date but have a hard time passing 3.5 yr olds
I have but they are usually Rob bucks. ...I know, I know. LOL But I have no qaums about eating tag soup like last year hunting one specific animal
In last years case he was a 140 plus 10. Maybe I'll see him this year. ;-)

I let that 7 pointer live so your odds are better

 

PT...

You better hold out for a really big-bodied buck.

(take a joke)

 

I have to ... that's all you ever give me lately

 

I usually start the season holding out for a 150+ buck and that size starts dropping after the rut and the season starts winding down ... by the last weekend if it's brown it's down just for some meat.

 

Fair enough, PT.

I've got a $20 bill that says the Preacher man connects on a bowkill whietail, this season.

Anyone wants it....PM me.

 

i am going to hunt my butt off for a doe here, and hope to be succesful, when i go to kansas in a few weeks I hope for a midwest giant, but will be greatful to have an opportunity at a 125 inch or better.

 

I really don't care about age....I'm horn horny!

 

I am holding out for a 3.5 yr. Old that should score more than 140" i dont want to harvest anything smaller.

 

Goal is a 160 or 5 1/2,

But if that super heavy, narrow rack, tall tined buck comes by, I won't be able to resist.

 

X2 - I don't sit in the stand and try to guess size/score, I look at the deer and decide whether or not to release.
