No way is that a deer. Its what one looks like if it runs into a duck pond after you shoot it. Reminded me more of a Coyote. Got 50lbs of meat when I finished butchering it. |

Opening day (11/22) in W.Va. for our group.
3 Point fork buck, he had been hit earlier in the season in the back with a broadhead. Through and through in the upper back. Poor guy couldn't even hold his head up. More of a mercy cull in my mind than anything else. He still tastes good though!  This one was taken down later in the day...6 pt.  |

2nd day NY.
Hit her with a Marlin XL7 .270 at about 60-70 yds. The buck I saw on opening day didn't give me a good target.

Bad moon, bad weather, missed the peak rut, and the acorns were every where. I only saw 18 deer for the whole week, and only one other buck, a 6-point. I sliced my buck's stomach open and he was full of acorns, he also had more fat than any buck I can remember. I guess that's good though after the winter they had to endure last year. Hopefully next year is colder and the rut is still full on. I did miss a coyote this year, the first I have seen on my property. I've been hearing them for 3 years and I finally see one, he was trotting, and I shot right over him.

When this photo was taken by my trail cam I was 100 yards below him and he was 40 yards out of my vision, lol.

My 2nd cousin killed a similiar 12 point on that same field last year. I can only take one buck in this county so I am done. I had that deer at 75 yards opening morning after I had tagged my 8. There is always next year! |

Been watching this guy grow since June on the cameras, saw him friday before opening day looking good and healthy, showed up at my stand on monday at 9:18 in the am after only coming out at night for the whole bow season......
but his whole left rack had been broken off so i had to let him walk and hope some asshat around me dosen't kill him. On the other side of the property a guy had been watching a big 10 for a few and weeks monday morning it came running in under him and died. About 5 minutes later the tresspasser that poached it off our land showed up to get it and met him instead. Tried to say he had permission from my grandpa to hunt there, when i got there i said Ralph had been dead since 93 so i find that hard to believe. He said that Ralphs grandson gave him permission, i said i am ralphs grandson and he just turned and walked away left the deer and all. I was gona let him have it, and then turn him into the cops, but he just took off, and i didn't feel like chasing him. The last 3 years, the biggest bucks taken on my proerty was from poachers that got caught. Next year i've got 3 sherrifs i'm going to let hunt as long as they arrest and fine any tresspassers and hopefully that'll take care of it. I am fine with people wanting to hunt, but the way i look at it is i'm the one with all the money in property taxes, food plots, fencing and all the other costs that go along with it so nobody has any right to be there and hunt on the land but me and those i choose to allow. |

Rattled in this buck Tuesday evening. I was busy watching a bobcat, I glanced to my left and he was 20 yards away staring at me. He ran when we made eye contact, I swung on him and dropped him at about 40 yards. He cartwheeled when I hit him and busted off the right main beam above the brow tine. Taxidermist said it'll be an easy fix, getting a skull mount done.
 Killed this doe Friday morning. 175 yard offhand shot.  Both deer were killed on public land. |

No offense taken, I didnt shoot it, I didnt score it and I didnt believe it! I will try and get some more pics hunted down. It has 17 points. I thought 3 were not scoreable points but they said the Taxidermist counted all 17 scoreable. I didnt bust out a tape on it I just looked at it from a few feet away. Didnt even put my hands on it. Here is another 
This is all of the pics that I can get my hands on, not really to many different angles. |

My sister's boyfriend took a buck Saturday that supposedly grosses in the low 170's, and it looks a lot bigger than the photo you posted. Again, his pic may just make his look huge, or perhaps the pic you posted made that one look smaller than it really is.

just looking at it I thought this one would gross somewhere in the 170s. I have seen mounts of 200 inch deer and this just doesnt look the same.

I posted all the pics I can get of it above. Let me know what yall think. I could have illegally killed this deer opening morning if I was the sort to do that. I had him in my cross hairs at 75 yards. I was already tagged out though |
