First deer off the farm this year.

I live on an old farm near King City (just N of Toronto). Here's one a friend took on the farm yesterday morning, from right beside the barn! 8 point, he figures about 200 lbs before being cleaned.

Cool. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm venison

I haven't been out hunting yet because I blew my knee out back in the summer -- torn ligaments (aviation incident, long story). Just got a new brace, though, that the doc says is good for rough ground, so I'm hoping to get out soon.

Actually, there's a 10 pointer we've seen a few times, who's probably a bit bigger. Can't be much bigger, though -- the one in the pic is a pretty big boy.

Another friend of mine got one last night on a property near Newmarket. Called me this morning saying he got the "largest buck I ever got in my life." 9 pointer (8 + a stub), and weighed in at 195 lbs after being gutted.

There sure are some big ones around this year.

I should have said to the deer:, "could you turn your head this way just a bit...? There, that's good."

Yeah, it sucks. Torn MCL here, with lesser damage to the ACL and meniscus.

Your friend did very well , straightshooter! Beauty Buck! I hope your knee gets better so you will have the opportunity to get out.
