JasonLester Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Took this one this year at a new farm. This is my second year hunting it. Killed a doe last year and didn't have a buck in range. Anyway, I was hunting the other direction. We cleared some trees with a backhoe and pilled the logs up making a nice ground blind. I was sitting behind it and ended up having this 8 point come up behind me. I hadn't seen anything yet this morning but had seen 4 bucks earlier in the week. He came off the neighboring property and was sneaking into the thick stuff behind me. I had to make a quick decision as he would have disappeared quick. I actually shot him left handed. He was at 25 yards. Not a monster but not a bad buck big body. Just thought I'd share...What do you think he'll score. I've yet to put a tape on him. I don't care because he's mine already it just nice to know sometimes .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nice buck Congrats. Id say lower 130s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Heck of a nice buck! Nothing wrong with him at all. Congrats! I'm generally not great at scoring deer, but i would guess 120's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 high 120's i think. that's a good skill to be able to shoot a gun at close range at least with opposite hand. i've used it on multiple occasions. congrats on the nice buck!

wtnhunt Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nice deer. Congrats Jason. Those pics are maybe a little deceiving I think. First look I thought low 130's, but then when I looked at the pic with you holding the antlers and I compare against your hand the tine length is clearly not as tall as I initially thought when looking at the deer on the ground which kinda makes me think mid 120's. A very nice deer, no doubt a shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nice buck, congrats! What county are you hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLester Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 My 2012 Ohio Buck Thanks guys ... Your coming in at similar as what I thought. I was guessing 120-130 maybe low 130's tallest time is about 8 inches I believe. I should get a call from the processor tonight or tomorrow and I'll throw a tape to him and get an idea before the taxi gets him... All and all super happy with him... Just kinda nice to get a nice one once and a while.... Only thing better would have been if one of my kids had shot it. This was Highland county. Shot a doe out there last year that was big. All farm land plenty to eat I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonLester Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 My 2012 Ohio Buck Got to quickly put a tape on him... 110-115 which kinda surprised me... But he is an 8 and his main beams aren't super long. I still love how he looks... Dropped him at the taxi just a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmiddleton Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 nice buck he will be a pritty mount i just got the wifes buck back from the taxi 2 days ago i haven't got any pics on the computer yet. he isn't the biggest but its her first deer in 20 years as she stopped hunting when the kids started as we didn't need that much meat. the wife and i hunted alone together for the first time in our 28 years of marrage as jody our oldest was 6 when we got married. sometimes the hunt is what makes the trophy. she about froze to death getting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLester Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 My 2012 Ohio Buck That's a nice buck... Your lucky to have someone to hunt with my wife will never go. Fortunately my kids love it. Post a pic of the mount when you get a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
