Celebrated surviving the hurricane by going bowhunting tonight, the buck got tricked and I got the treat. Had two different pair of yearlings come out and mill around in front of my blind in the clover and chicory before the big boy came out around 6pm. Gave me a great 20 yard, quartering away shot and the arrow hit perfect. He ran maybe 80 yards across the field and just into the woods edge before piling up in the flooded rainwater. I'll get field pics of him in the morning, but this is the buck when he walked in front of the cam a few weeks ago... ;D  |

Way to go. I knew any call from you on Halloween would be scary.

Got him all skinned, caped, meat deboned and in the cooler to process later, head to the taxidermists. That's the only bad part about big deer, my taxidermist gets all my $.   |

That extra year really helped him. He'll look nice on that wall. Nice part is you still got the whole month of Nov. and plenty of candidates on the hit list. The bad part is I'm going to be working a lot and you're going to have amble time afield to bug me.

Wow, I thought the trail cam pic was good but the live/dead pic was even more impressive! Very thick at the base and a great spread. Congrats!

That is a great buck Osprey! I agree that the trail pic did not do him justice! He is a monster and you have got to be proud! I hope you have a great rest of the year! Enjoy your time off and hunt hard!

Thanks guys! Just got done butchering this morning, tonight gotta get back out and kill my second antlerless so I can keep after 'em.
Don't worry Bart, you'll get plenty of e-mails while you're at work. Not only can I keep bowhunting, but this frees me up to chase sikas and ducks for a few weeks!

Thats a great looking mount. McKenzie form? If so what series. I like that profile I didn't mount it but that is a 6900 McKenzie series. I like them and mounted my buck on the biggest one they make. |
