I killed this 8 point a week ago on public land. It stepped out of a thicket on the first morning of my hunt at around 8:00. He has 21.5' beams, 18' inside spread, 9' G2's. I rough scored him to be 127' and some change.
My buddy killed this 13 point in the delta region this morning on public land with his bow. The typical side has 5 points and the other side has 8. Just as a reference if typical he would have been roughly 19' wide. The good main beam is 22'. The deer weighed 260lbs. His neck was 22' out of rut.
Got my first bow kill of the season. Not a monster, but still my best bow kill. He's an 8 point 14 2/8 wide.
I am very pleased with the mount. I made a phone call this past week and will be getting an official score pretty soon.
Got a call from my taxidermist today for he had just finished putting my deer on the form. I wanted him to call me to see which way I wanted to position the ears. I chose to do the ears back. They aren't in their final position, just ballpark for he was letting me look at the different positions so they aren't exactly aligned. He still has some painting and touch ups to do, but I'm liking it so far. I know it's not my work, but there is no way I'm going to experiment on a deer like this.
Anyone finding any good sheds they would like to post. Always curious to see the ones that got away.
I killed this 10 point in Issaquena County on December 16. It was killed on public land and green scored 169 6/8 gross, 165 7/8 net. The inside spread is 21.5 and main beams are 24 5/8. The deer is extremely symmetrical with the only major deduction being the brow tines. The brows are 10' and 8.5' roughly. The G2's and G3's are 11' & 10' roughly as well. He was aged at 5 1/2 years old and weighed 220 lbs. I may not look excited in the picture, but trust me you have no idea. We were having technical difficulties with the camera and it was hard to time the flash. I am truly grateful for this deer and would like to share him with others. I even nicknames him 'Gratitude' to represent my gratefulness. It was killed with a rifle and the wound you see is an exit wound, for it was quartered to me a little. So it's not as far back as you may think. Happy Hunting, Eddie
There is definitely nothing like having a successful hunt with a bow. Nice Deer
A monster. Nice deer and congratulations.
Thanks for your service and welcome to the forum.
Bet he was one proud 8 year old and he has every reason to be. Nice Deer for sure.
That's a stud. Would like to know more information about the kill. What area, public or private, and the score. Thanks
There are several clubs around the space center, but the quality of deer is nothing like it is inside the test site. That is before they slaughtered them last year to thin the heard. I was in a club in the buffer zone, but never got anything impressive on camera.
Great story, these videos will be a great asset to the site.
Nice Deer Congrats
It is hard to stress to people the importance of a safety harness. I truly don't understand why one would go without it. Even if you cant afford the more expensive ones, most new tree stands come with them. If anyone needs one and is willing to use it I would gladly donate one that I got with my Summit. Anything to save someones life or mobility. I don't leave home without mine!
No body is really going to give away a hunting spot. The woods are fairly open which allows you to see pretty far. The hardest thing is going to be getting away from other hunters. Another issue you will have is if your near a wet area, the hogs will be everywhere. Just go the day before and look around. Good Luck
Welcome... always good to see new members.
really nice consultations
Unbelievable Video. I thought hogs were mostly herbivores with an occasional frog or worm. Guess we learn things new everyday.
Sounds good Andy just let me know.
Really Nice...Congrats to the hunter!
I have seen a lot of stands in the woods designed like that but never any in the stores to buy. what's up with that
got a few of us that plan on coming over there soon.
Nice buck. Sure looks like he had a bigger body because he had a huge neck.
