As Moosie mentioned in the other topic, I've been gone quite a bit.....between filling my archery tag, to scouting for a possible recipient of my rifle tag.....
Yesterday, I found the buck I've been looking for all summer.....I originally spotted him at the end of last years archery season....I was relatively suprised and happy to find him nearly a year later..... smile.gif
My oldest girl(5) and I were able to watch him fighting with a smaller 14" buck, who had control....and who by the way wouldn't give up his herd......we watched for a good half hour, and there were no clear cut winners yet when we left...... graemlins/fight.gif
The pictures don't due him justice....wide deep curls and healthy prongs.....he should gross in the 80+ range........a friend of mine shot his twin last year, not but 7-8 miles from him, and that buck went 83" :cool:
Excuse the clarity on the pics, they were taken through my spotting scope......It's gonna be a long wait to next Fridays opener..... graemlins/hump.gif
