The youngest boy killed this the night after Thanksgiving.
I was very happy for him as last fall he was recovering from a bone marrow transplant and didn’t get to hunt much at all.
Boy number three has only killed a doe but has passed several bucks but will hunt through muzzleloader.

Nothing at all.
I have already got both of them cut up and we have probably eaten six pounds of burger out of that buck plus his liver and heart.
I saw a couple of decent bucks during bow season but never got either one closer than 40 yards.
Around here, after opening weekend of gun season, chances start dropping drastically with each passing day.
Here close to the house, it’s patches of properties with lots of hunters in firearms season.
The little patch I have to hunt is only about ten acres.
I leave the better places for the boys to hunt.
Besides, I just picked up that 141 this summer and I kind’ve wanted to draw blood with it.

35 Remington.
That rifle is very slender, well balanced and a joy to carry.

When I started deer hunting here in Indiana 40+ years ago the bucks had small basket racks, I have seen the quality of deer steadily improve. The property owner's son where I did most of my hunting has put three bucks in the Hoosier Big Bucks record book. I got a look at a qualifier several years ago but no shooting opportunity, my best Hoosier buck is a 7 pt..

I think the best part of it all is passing the hunting tradition to your sons and most of all hunting with them!!!

Congrats to all of you for taking deer esp #3 son. I have had a bone marrow transplant and it takes a lot out of you.

Large racks are not uncommon in Indiana.
Last mount I had taken on the second morning of the season, the taxidermist had already taken in 5 over 170 inches in the past 24 hours.

I have seen pics of heads considerably larger than that.
