Congrats!! Very nice looking buck you got there!!!

What a great buck!!!

Well, my dad shot One Horn today. This buck we have a bit of history with. Last year he was a nice buck, but his right beam was broken off toward the base. Maybe a high 140's to 150 buck. My brother Tom and my Dad snuck in on him last year and got within 20 yards or so, but passed on him. "A next year buck" Well, then this year blue tongue struck our area and killed many of the deer so we hadn't seen much for deer and were not sure if One Horn had made it. Today my Mom sent and email titled One Horn, I thought maybe they found his shed or something, but much to my surprise my Dad shot him today! He was on our northern piece of land that my parents own, to the east of a big dam on my parents property. This is what my Mom sent this morning in an email...I will post pictures later! "Dad shot One Horn this morning. He was in the steel bin coulee next to Swihart's. Sean and Dad walked right up to him. He was bedded with a doe. Tom was back aways by the pickup in case he went another way. Sean and Dad snuck up to him at 30 yards when he jumped up. Dad looked at him for a while and then went ahead and shot once. He missed, and dropped him with the second shot, 284 lever action Savage. They loaded him up and hauled him home. He scores 147- 1/4 gross and if his other side would have been the same as the good side he would have been a 165 to 170 gross." As you will see his one side grew back but all funky like!haha Well, all from here. A few pics are attached. The first is a picture of 1 horn my Dad took last year during season and then the next three are of him this year!

Hey, what a great buck! Man you weren't kidden when you said it had mass! Holy smokes!!! Both of them are nice bucks! Great story, and congrats on a really awesome buck! He will make a great shoulder mount!

What a great buck!

Very cool!

Ok, I'll make sure to take snacks and a book. I think a bow would be a great idea, I'll look into that. We do have a .22 so I'll have to get her out more plinking at stuff with that. I'll let her take things at her own pace and maybe she will want to pick up a bow and rife! I really appreciate the tips!

Wish I could have been there too!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!! Enjoy time with your familes and friends. And if you get out there hunting good luck! ~ Nathan

I agree with you Steve...

Two great looking deer you have there!

Nice looking buck!!!

Ok, some camo stuff I can do. I just got her some realtree clothing and am really excited. I was talking to her tonight as we were on our way to the movie "New Moon" and she said she would like to go hunting but she was thinking she might get bored sitting there all day without seeing anything. I assured her we would see a lot since we are both from Montana and we usually see a lot every year. She brought it up all on her own so I was pretty excited! Thanks, turkeygirl! Have a good Thanksgiving!!! ~ Nbomb500

Yeah, he was pretty excited about the mass and weird cluster of points on its right beam! Not the biggest buck he has ever gotten, but a nice one to add to the collection. Hey Coles, hope the rut picks up! The deer have been rutting pretty hard back at my parents. The bucks are going crazy and acting dumb!lol Good luck!!!

Ok, I can do that! Do you think buying a gun for her would be a little too much? I'm really excited to get her some realtree shirts and some camo stuff and was thinking about getting her...her own gun for Christmas! Yay or nay!?!

What a great story, pics, and a big buck! Awesome!!! Congrats!

Just got three t-shirts for my wiffeee, pretty excited!

Ok, so even though I am not a lady I had to write a thread in your forum. My wife isn't a big hunter by any means though she has been getting really interested in watching the monster bucks DVD's which has been awesome! Do you gals have any tips for me on simple things I could do to turn my wife into a hunting "realtree" girl like you gals? I know Tiffany Lakosky never dreamed of being addicted to hunting like she is now. My wife doesn't mind going along on the hunts or watching huntind DVD's or shows, but what will spark her interest in wanting to pick up a bow or rifle? Thanks, ~ NBomb500

I agree, that water boarding comment Redkneck was hilarious!!!

Hey, what's up with the ankkaooram Fawn in the forums. Not sure, can't read the stuff and didn't want to click on it!!!!

Looking at some stuff right now! I wish they had the Pink Printed Realtree Girl Fitted Camo Tee in size small.

Man, some great deals! I might have to pick some things up for my wife!!! Thanks!

Great deer, congrats!

Nice buck!
