Congrats Coop...anyway you look at it that's an excellent, hard earned buck especially on public land! As long as you're happy with him that's all that really matters. Congrats again man nicely done!
Awesome Buck!!!!! I think we all told ourselves we wouldn't let this little contest govern our hunting, I think you took an awesome deer!!!!! Happy for you!!!
Good luck Kristen! I still have a Pa doe tag and thought about going out today, but my back is bothering me after getting that buck out of the woods yesterday.
Well, I made it til 9:35...13° was just too cold for me. I did see a nice buck and 2 does, but they were 80 yards away at the creek crossing. I'll be back at it tonight...
Congrats Coop hell yea! I'll get my score posted this weekend. I have the two pics finally with our BH.com watermark. Couldn't post till I got that done.
Oh and in the tree right now chasing another. Pretty damn cold at 13 degrees this am. Starting to warm up some but I'm sure low 20s. Sticking it out till 10 at least. Be at it all weekend. Good luck all let's keep droppin em!
Coop I saw you posted the final score, but don't we also have to post the score card? I looked at the rules and I didn't see it say it clearly that we had to.
I don't know. I saw some guys did and some didn't. I used that online B&C calculator so I can again and then post it.
Gotcha, I saw the same thing, some did some didn't. I used the same thing for my score, it didn't add the 9th point into the gross, I had to go in and edit my score post to add the 1 2/8 into the total. I know that's not much to add back in but ah well.
Hey Coop on the Sticky that says Attn Captains it say a breakdown for all bucks over 50. I think that's why some people that posted there score but not a breakdown didn't have them count yet.
Thanks man. I also calculated it by hand using a Pope and Young scorecard and got the same exact score so I think I am ok.
Well, this year didn't go as I hoped. I really was hoping to get my first archery deer. Just didn't happen. I wont be going back out tonight as nothing is moving and too cold for my liking. If it warms up some I'll try to add points in our late season. Bummer.
You can use your bow in "rifle" season. Just a thought in case you have a spot that is no good for rifles/shotguns.
I hunt a complete different spot with my rifle. Unfortunately my shots there are never close. Things may change though, got a couple weeks to decide!
