at least they showed up. bout 5 years ago someone shot a buck in our field at night with a rifle in September. Called the DNR and no one ever showed.

Re:passing deer-frustration setting in(pics added) if you choose to start passing small bucks in hopes of letting them grow you have to learn to accept some years you aren't gonna shoot a buck. I haven't killed a buck since 2003, I know sooner or later my patience will pay off again. I have no plans to give up waiting on quality deer anytime soon because once it finally pays off it makes it all worthwhile.

Re: 140\" or better.. How many have U seen in your life I've seen probably a dozen or more out in the wild (seen some big ones in captivity too) I took one: 140 4/8 and another that's close 133 5/8 Those two I mentioned are the biggest I've seen while hunting and I got both of them, but I've seen much bigger ones while not hunting. Last year I was watching a non-typical until at least halfway through the growing season when he dissapeared, it was still early and he had a lot of growing to do but I thought that would have scored 160-170 roughly guessing. I've seen more and more 120+ and bigger deer the past 5 or 6 years than I ever had before.

Re: Pros and cons... I got a Moultrie Gamespy 200 and promptly returned it after a week. Animals have to trip the camera twice for their picture to be taken, needless to say in that week I got a grand total of 0 photos and I even watched deer in the field where I had it walk right by. From what I hear, Moultrie is only good if you are putting it on bait or a feeder. Since that's not what I wanted at all I returned it and got a Leaf River IR.

Re: BUCK OF A LIFETIME!!! 2006 [ QUOTE ] we got an unofficial gross core but I'd rather not say, not sure if I believe it. [/ QUOTE ] didn't the one in your avatar score something like 180s-210 somewhere in that range? I thought I saw a post on that a long time ago, I haven't been here recently so I don't really remember, if you can't believe the score and you've already got one that large.... good lord what's the gross? And a story please, the suspense is killing everyone here I think!

Re: BUCK OF A LIFETIME!!! 2006 Bet you'll be seeing that photo or a similar one on magazine covers a few months from now. Truely awesome, the mass and brow tines are wicked, that buck probably cut down the trees he rubbed! Big congrats!

Re: two bass / one cast / one lure!!!! I've had that happen to me twice, the first time it was 2 bass around 1 lb each. The next time it was 2 dinks, both times out of the same pond.

Re: Attn: Michigan Deer hunters I was seeing 5-6 per hunt, mostly does I only got skunked seeing nothing 2 or 3 times, I didn't bowhunt a whole lot this year, mostly went out with the muzzleloader. I think I'm going out for one last hunt tomorrow night, then I'll start looking for shed antlers.

Re: Fellow farmer shot 14 point doe thought they could only have spikes? no, of course not. I've seen pics of does with as many as 22 points. you can't make a post like this without pics btw, it's just not right!

Re: **Attacked by a Blacktail Buck** what I find most amazing is his buddy had a knife deer hunting permit lol j/k just prop the deer up and take a re-creation photo of the moment your buddy saw you

Re: How many deer did you see? ummm, I have no clue, a lot, it really depends on the weather, and there are a lot of repeats. I've only seen a handful of antlered bucks while actually hunting this year. Rest are does or button bucks.

Re: Two Nice Thanksgiving Deer awesome bucks, and I agree with let's see the video. I'm still trying to locate the power cord for my brother's digital so I can transfer the footage of my doe kill to the computer, but your footage looks like it is much, much, nicer!

Re: Got one with a another messed up rack (pic) congrats, a friend of mine's dad shot one like that years ago except it was a 5x1 he thought it was a 10 point until he got up to it and lifted up it's head and saw the spike lol

Re: look what a cuddeback caught ! lol that's a great pic, deer porn! I got a pic of a deer mounting another one year before last, but we think it was a button buck showing dominance over another.

Re: my 2005 buck (and coyote) --pics congrats 11 kills in 11 years is good anywhere you go!

Re: My first BUCK! congrats, great story, and a great picture too, you should get that framed.

Re: 2nd Buck of the Year! congrats, very pretty buck.

Remember this picture??? On this same topic, I posted a message at JHO using this as an example, an example of how every year since probably the first hunting message board opened there's been a rumor online about a new world record. Anyone remember this pic? I remember reading one rumor that came with this buck was that it netted around 240. It actually scores around 197. The only bit of truth to this buck's story was the story that it was poached. Ahhh, the internet, have to love how news spreads and stories get streached.

Re: 2005 Trophy Album Doe taken Nov, 23rd. 5:13 PM T/C Omega Muzzleloader topped with a Nikon Pro Staff Shotgun scope. 100 grains of Triple 7 and 300 grain Shockwave bullet. Distance was about 30-35 yards. Dropped in her tracks.

Re: Took a doe (pics) ok here's a nicer pic. Luckily the snow wasn't blowing this morning. I wanted to fold her legs under her, but she had gotten a little stiff in the past 2 days and I wasn't able to do it. God, they had samples at the processor I ate 3 pieces and my mouth is just watering for more!

Re: Took a doe (pics) thanks all, yes she was very healthy, had a lot of fat on her too. I've actually saw a few does in the first few days of gun and during bow that were much, much larger than this one, but I was waiting for a buck then.

Re: How to Take A Field Picture-Don\'t Move This Please I always poke the tounge back in their mouth, I admit, and you can see it in my post that I didn't get any good field photos of my doe yesterday because it got too dark. I took a few tailgate shots today but only because it was snowing and the wind was blowing so bad it made taking good shots out in the yard impossible. I hope to get some nice photos of her in the yard tomorrow before taking her to the processor, that is, if it's not snowing too hard. I agree stick the tonge back in the deer! That always bugs me when I see a pic like that. We also try to put the tag behind the deer's ear and clean all the blood off it we can.

Re: A real trophy! Great looking buck, I'd be happy with him too!

Re: Took a doe (pics) I got a pic of me with her, I didn't want to do a tailgate shot, but the wind and snow are howling outside so basically you wouldn't be able to see me. We're gonna take her to the processor tomorrow, if it calms down out I'll get a much better pic in the yard.

Re: Rifle tag filled (pics)...... Beautiful buck, congrats!
