Thanks Dan, my first ever full velvet buck, loving it, have 4 yrs of trail cams of him on the same scrape/licking branch.. he's 6.5 this year..
That is absolutely awesome. I wish the WI season would open a couple weeks earlier, I would love to shoot a big velvet buck. I've got 3 patterned, but they'll be long out of velvet by Sept 15 when the season opens. Congrats again boss! Awesome start to your season and a nice boost for the team!
So it starts Do you think those boys over on 27 are ready for you guys?!?! Huge congrats Troy! I'm glad you finally got him, and your velvet
Congrats Troy! I was actually laughing outloud when I saw that you shot a big buck literally hours after checking in with the team
Thanks guys, lots of fun today got him in the cooler ....cape head on the freezer.. time to get after buck # 2! I am very thankful to say the least.. God has been good to me over the years.. Can't wait to see how our year plays out.. MAN i wish they would let us guys out west that CAN NOT get a doe tag.... use a second buck as doe points...??? come on Dan.. help a brother out ...
I hear ya Shed...I often cannot get a doe tag in the areas I hunt either...I personally don't think does should be part of the contest...but I think I can get a doe tag in one of the areas I will be hunting this year...I'll have to look into it
Ha Haaa, thats what I'm talking about, way to get it done Troy. Congrats on a great Velvet Buck, and good luck with that second tag.
I agree with your situation Troy and would allow it, but you're on my team and can't make that call. Fitz and I talked a bit and I think we're going to have the captains vote on it next week. The only problem I see is for the guys who do have doe tags and multiple buck tags wanting to use a second buck for 50 points if they don't shoot a doe. Personally, I don't know why does were allowed in the contest in the first place. Not all guys are able to shoot does and the only constant is that all people can shoot bucks. No matter how the vote comes out, our team is going to run away with the title anyways.
Dan, I believe GMMAT lobbied hard to get does added to the contest...now that he is gone...maybe the does should be gone too
It won't be this year and it will be very hard to change it in the future too. I think a lot of people would make a stink about it.
