    I love that gnarly rack!!

    And I would agree, seems likely more in the 130s-140s, he's got a great spread and height, just not the points and the mass.

    I gotta get to Ohio some year. I will be in Kansas this fall and I'm due to draw Iowa when I figure out where I want to go. Good luck this weekend. Should be a good one to get out.

    Well....sorry for the delay, those that voted it did have a majority vote for the first ever Dwayne Jones Award.

    @entropyfx I just need you to private message me your mailing address and your name you want on the award. I'll probably have it made to be honest at the same time I have this year's made to kill two birds with one stone - so know you'll be getting it but I'll have them made once this contest closes and I have a vote for the new (or you guys again) winner for 2023.

    Congrats man! When you get it, share a picture if you can and share it with the forum - a BIG FREAKING smile if you want to pay homage to the man it is named after is a bonus - that man's smile was always everywhere!

    If anyone asks you If I like to hunt tell them honestly.
    No. I’m hate it. I hate hunting. And I hate stupid freaking deer. It’s so much less heartbreak to just sit in front of the tv and relax.

    Shot a spike tonight. After three hours of searching, only blood I found was on the arrow shaft. Went back to the impact sight to dig around and see if he covered up any useful information when he took off running. Found a tiny piece of meat under some pine straw.
    Called it a night, and turned the game camera on the area. Let’s hope he comes back around and survives. Will continue searching in the morning.

    Stupid deer.

    Man that sucks. But we've all been there. Bow hunting is freaking hard. Keep us in the loop.

    Good luck brother. I'm planning on being on stand by 5:30 tomorrow afternoon in Ohio. I have a lot of driving ahead of me. Leaving Lexington, SC at 3:30 AM.

    Lol, got 5 mins out of town and realized I hadn't bought a tag. Ran back in to the gas station, got a tag, got out a touch late but I'm good.

    Was covered in deer in the dark. They were crossing the creek coming from an acorn patch and headed to the thick cover with full stomachs. They almost messed around for too long but crossed the creek just before shooting light. Nothing since.
