What about your KY buck Harry?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Bob, They're all KY bucks. We've (me, dad and my nephew) have killed some really nice bucks here at the house. I need to get some more pictures digitized and in PhotoBucket. I didn't really do much digital stuff until I joined here....and sadly, most of my pictures of late were taken with an iPhone. My nephew killed a really nice buck out of my stand this year. He's a dedicated hunter and has been going strong since he was 8.

I didn't see it! I went through the thread. Must have missed it? I have lots of "live" pictures of your buck as well. I'll dig one up for giggles.

SAS: Congrats for your nephew! Sounds like you guys have a honey hole out there. Those are all nice Kentucky bucks and I hear the state is becoming one of the better places to find a big one.

Thank you kindly, sir. Both my son's and my deer were killed from the same permanent tree stand we built in a little scrub patch of woods on a 55 acre farm in western KY. Just to illustrate how unpredictable buck activity can be during the rut, we regularly gun and bow hunted from that same stand but never ever laid eyes on either buck until just a few seconds right before we pulled the trigger.

roundoak: Bows count! We aren't rifle snobs..... That's a dandy buck! The first one I posted (and my biggest to date) was a bow kill. Good story behind that one too.

Yeah they were probably cruising through looking for a doe in heat. Who can tell where they came from, right?

rooster:....in the back yard.....the back yard???
Not quite. It was about 500 yards from my yard. I was putting the sneak on a doe feeding in a cut corn field when I noticed that buck and his harem standing in the CRP. From there it was belly crawling through thistles to get a shot off.

Nice bucks Joken!
I had never seen my deer either. Nothing on cameras and on Nov. 01, here he comes following a doe and grunting.

Mine was crashing and zig-zagging through the woods and underbrush trying to keep up with a hot doe that was teasing him, too. My son's had quietly sneaked up, it's head and neck stretched out, sniffing and lip curling toward a heated Tink's 69 scent dispenser we had hung out just a little ways from our stand.

What a bunch of awesome, killer deer! There are magazine publishers that would probably give thier left....hand to get ahold of this thread! And a big thanks to Mr. Humble (Bob) for starting it. I sure don't have much to offer in the way of big mulies or whitetails, but here's a couple of Kodiak Blacktails from back in the day. As I understand it, non-typicals such as in the first photo are relatively rare in Kodiak Blacktails. It's hard to see, but he has 10 total weird points and a fairly wide rack (and big body). The second photo is a typical that while I haven't measured it, is fairly nice and while it's hard to see is just barely a 4 x 4 with one little bump for an eyeguard. Some of the hardcore AK guys probably have much bigger ones so I use these two little guys as bait to draw them out. Grin.

Akbob: Those are great blacktails! I love the looks of those deer and especially the mature bucks with those chunky bodies and blocky heads,and distinctive coloration and markings......beautiful and unique animals. I have seen them up in Alaska when I have been there but never hunted them. Thanks for posting your pictures.

We almost never bother to weigh deer, but the year before this my brother shot a SK whitetail that we weighed field dressed at 260 lbs. this is my heaviest to date, not measured but was al least 4" longer carcass hanging in the cooler.
