Re: Finally a Buck

Helo,
I have never set size restriction for myself. It just so happened that the first deer I seen this season was a monster and it set the tone for the rest of the season. I could have filled my tags long ago, which doesn't happen often to me. The club I am on has set antler restrictions and that is helping to produce some nice bucks.

Tnbowhunter,
beating the deer on their terms is the best part, they are crafty critters and don't get big from being stupid. Good for your dad, glad you can spend time in the woods with him. My Dad is 69 and stopped hunting when I was maybe 2-3 years old. Finally after 30 years of not hunting I finally got him in the woods with me, now thats all he lives for. He absolutely can't get enough. Attached is a 6pt, should have been a nice 7pt but one browtine was broke. he weighed 190lbs. Dad got him two weekends ago. It is the best rack and largest body deer he had ever taken. years of running dogs he never got anything over a 3pt. That is my son with him.

CFowler,
been there done that! change up stand locations and stay in his core area, you will get him. Don't give up.
