Another AB buck

[Lazy Ike]

The wind was way to strong for sitting 17 feet up in a tree so I decided to spend the day rattling a cutblock on the same property. This guy came blasting in about 45 minutes after i set up.

That's a gooder!

That looks like an old deer.

[open-sights]

Awwww man, nice mass!!

 

[Why not?]

Very nice deer. The antlers look really heavy!

Congratulations,
Ted

 

[ACKLEY ABE]

Nice buck....especially for a south-paw

 

[PaulT]

Congrats to you, very nice deer, beautifull rack .

 

[Noel]

Way to go Jarrod!
Which barrel did you wear on your rifle for the adventure?
Nice to see things are turning around for you. He will taste much better than horse.

Thiiiiiccckkk!
Congrats

 

[Lazy Ike]

Thanks all.

His mass is misleading, I think he may only be 3-4 years. He weighs around 230 gutted. The bucks I've seen in this area are all very thick, but this was the first non spiker I've seen without drop tines.

That's the Swede. Hornady "custom"140gr interlock @ 120 yds no recovery. If everything goes real well...I'll sight the 9,3 in for next week. If Christie hasn't filled her cow moose tag we may need to talk as I saw at least 1 cow a day in that spot.

 

[captonion]

Thats a dandy.Good going

I think he is old because he has got the Toupee look on the top of his head, the scars on the muzzle as well as greying around the eyes and nose. Are you sure he is only 3-4? My guess is 6+

I know what you're saying but I ran into him(pretty sure) last season and he was sporting the same rack sans the mass and even a smaller body. I guess the fork test will tell.

We may have to talk. We have yet to find any sign of Ms. Moosey. My buddy had tracks going thru his yard last week so I think it is more a matter of getting Christy to hunt more than one weekend in a row. She's a newbie, what can I say......

If that is the average deer you see then you have it made. Some great genetics and great feed add up to a dandy supply of deer. Is Cole going for one too?

Is Caroline going to get her shoulder mount over the fireplace now?

We will discuss this further....

he ain't an average but just remember you're going for Moose!

European for him.

 

[Noel]

No worries man. You will find I refuse to step on toes or other hunting spots of my friends, it's just bad medicine. My tag is filled already anyway......

Euro will look VERY cool with that heavy rack. Nice play!
Get out your pot, tiger torch and clothes peg for your nose. It's going to be a stinky garage for a couple nights.

 

[gitrdun]

Wow, I've dreamed of that buck Noel is right, Euro will look mighty fine.
