Looking through this thread, I am reminded of something that I'm sure we are all aware of...
That is, for me,(although the big deer are sort of special because they come less frequently and require a combination of effort and good luck), as years role by you think back and it occurs that it isn't about the size of the deer,but the places you get to visit, the hunts themselves and the people you meet along the way,some of whom become fast friends for years to follow.
All of this transcends the size of the bucks, which are really momentos of the experiences that brought you to them. In that respect,all deer,and all deer hunts,are special. This makes them all really big deer in our minds beyond the size of the antlers.
Love to see more picture posted. Keep them coming.
Excellent post Bob, by far the best one I've read on the forum.
There are some absolute hogs pictured in this thread.....just amazing.
