Tominator Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I saw a good buck in April across the road and he was still carrying half a rack. About the same time I was seeing a set of tracks on my property that was made by a big deer; nice splay, deep, long, dew claws, etc. June went by and I didn't see him or any sign of him. July and I saw a nice deer in my neighbor's field. August and as I was setting a stand on the end of my property I saw him on my neighbor's field line. Last night I saw him again. He's still in velvet and hanging out in the same area--my neighbor's field line. I'm pretty sure he's bedding down in that little strip of gnarled up treeline. I'd guess he's in the upper 130's maybe lower 140's. Brows are probably 6", 2's and 3's are probably 10" maybe more. Width isn't impressive as he's right at his ears. Funny, he's almost an exact replica of the 9 pt I shot in 2008 except that his 5 points are on the left and 4 on the right. I'm hoping I get a crack at him...stay tuned.

Tominator Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Nope, no cams. I'm too cheap and there's too many thieves in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Good luck with him Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hope you have a close encounter with him Chris. BTW...didn't know a teacher needed a math lesson but...for what it's worth those numbers you stated put that buck over 140 with room to spare...even with an inside spread out to his ears. What's that in your neck of the woods? A 16.5" to 17" spread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look heavier than they really are. One word of advice..dont tell Ohio Bucks....lol I'd love to put Tom on this buck, but he's too stubborn to listen to me.
