I love the pics. You keep um coming and Ill keep looking. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.

Brother Chris with his 9 point taken in Ohio on opening day (muzzleloader)


Here is my Ohio buck, shot on next to last day of the gun season (Sat.), also with a muzzleloader. Second buck I killed on a deer drive with my muzzleloader. Don't let anyone tell you you can't use a smoke pole during deer drives.....just gotta make the first one count.


As you can see the buck has two main beams on his left side. Liked to have shot a bigger buck, but it was my last day in Ohio and I was literally down to the wire....

I like that left beam, unique

A 14 pt. 183 5/8 rough score, so I'm told, taken by a co-worker 11/29. Really at or near record book for VA with a bow.
Chesterfield Co. near Courthouse Rd. for the interested Virginians. I scanned this picture from a photo, hence the quality.

Found this partial drop near the family farm on Oct 5 while pre-season scouting w/my lad...

Went back to the same spot on Oct 11 and found the base of the broken drop...

The drop had been runover by a skidder...G-1 and G-2 are broke off. Next day I stopped to show the logger/skidder owner the drop that I had found...he told me of a drop that his son had found,very close to where I had found this one.
Fast fwd to Nov 21...this is the buck that the shed belonged to...



On Dec 27 the logger's kid was here at the house...and I asked about the dropped antler he had found...the kid had given it to a friend of his (sigh)...so I had the kid call his pard and ask if we could get a look at it...floored me when the pard came to the door sporting the other drop from my buck...

So I got the wife to try them on...w/a little imagination...you can see sorta what the buck sported for antler's
in 2008...

Good on you guys!

I'm TOTALLY with you on this one. I know Jed and his wife personally and they are BOTH second to none. His place in upstate NY is one of the nicest places I have ever had the pleasure to have a look at!!!! Congratulations Jed!!!!

Jed,

That sure is a helluva nice buck you got there! Congratulations!

Got this guy wayyyyy up high after a 1.5 hour climb,,, course that put me with a long drag but all down hill,,,,Saw a 75-80 pound bear realllly close and a great horned Owl before finding this guy,,was stalking/still hunting 40 yard shot through the mid neck and he flopped,,, that was the only shot I had before he could decide if I was dangerous or not.




Not a big deer for many of you guys but a nice one for around here

also got a cowhorn spike on opening day,and a small hog during deer ML season,,, canned 28 quarts of deer and 12 of hog this year.

Nope...thats a nice whitetail for anywhere ...


Ingwe

Thanks, best I've got in 30 years of deer hunting public lands here in the Mnts of NC, not many deer around here compaired to the flatlands. My son really liked him.








Here is da pig,

That's a very nice ridge runner! and you gotta love those down hill drags.

CLB

That is a super buck PPosey. Congrats on him and the hog.

Thats a great buck for VA, but that is not close to the state record, wich was taken this year in beatatourt county and scores over 225 B&C

I agee, nice Buck, also nice one Jed, great to have found the sheds too!

I might go out one more time and try to kick a buck up off the river this afternoon, but the season is definitely winding down for me. I had a great one this year; made 26 deer hunts, saw 48 deer, shot two does with my .257 RBTS, and killed a decent 11 point buck with my M88 .284 WIN. I had three rookie deer hunters I have been mentoring score their first deer while hunting with me this season and was privileged to be asked to guide two wounded warriors from Camp Lejeune for a couple of days of deer hunting. I really couldn't ask much more out of hunting than what I have received this season. I almost forgot that RAS from the fire came and hunted with me a day too - he shot a nice eight. Here are some pictures:

Here are my two little fellers taken 11/27/2009 in Cannon (Shotgun!) County, TN. Ruger No. 1H Tropical .375 H&H. Read about "A Damned Adequate Whitetail Round" on the Big Bore board.

Great lookin' buck. I love that mass.

Looks like a big deer to me. Nice going.

Be glad you got it waaaaaaaay up instead of waaaaaaaay down.
