    I'm sure ilhunter joined the200 point club this year, I'm guessing around that 160 mark

    It is my first time scoring a deer. I have a greatest spread of 22 1/8. 4 7/8 deductions and a final score of 180 7/8. Is that sounding right? Will have the taxidermist score him in a bit after I get him caped.

    I think that's a bit big. Taxidermist's score will probably be better/accurate.

    Guys at the bowshop are thinking 160s which is what I'm thinking.

    I've only seen a my shooter twice this year and the closest I have been is 80 yards. Kind of dead around here. I don't think the rut has started like a lot of people say it has. I bet next week will be stellar! I true cold snap for most of the week and less of a moon.

    He'll be caped out in the morning and I'll let the local shop and taxidermist score him :) like I said my dad and I may be off. But watching the B&C video on how to score it seemed like we did it right.

    I am just messing with you guys! I have a monster in the walk-in freezer. I am just waiting on my new Bow Hunt or Die hat to arrive so I can take hero pictures with it on! :rock: That's my story and I am sticking to it.


    If you believe that I have some ocean front property in Kansas I will sale you....

    Honestly I haven't hunted near as much this year. I've spent more time with my boy (first year bow hunter). I wouldn't trade it for the world!

    Next week is my week!

    Outstanding buck Neal............CONGRATULATIONS on a beautiful 8. His size and symmetry is impressive. Man, the caliber of deer that are hitting the ground for team #1 is something special.

    Good hunting guys.........and best of luck to everyone the rest of the season. There's still a lot of time to get it done!

    No pressure Heckler........but if we lose.........it might be on you. Just sayin'....... :poke: :whip: :moose:

    (I hope everyone realizes I just bustin' on Heckler a bit. It's the thankless job of the team captain.)



    Hey, you picked me! :)
