Ohiobucks Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I wasn't going to go out at all this morning, but I got a call from my good friend Mike (on the right in the pic) yesterday afternoon around 3:00pm. He was on his way down to hunt today, tomorrow and the weekend. We were swapping stories, talking about deer movement here in Ohio lately and it was then that I decided I was going to get out for at least a few hours this morning. I told myself that at 9:30am I was going to get down and head home to get ready for work. This guy came along around 9:00am. I saw him from about 150 yards off, working a scrape on the edge of a picked corn field. I grabbed my binos and decided he was good enough, by the time I put them away and got my grunt tube in hand, he was already heading my way. I didn't even need to call to him, so I grabbed my bow and sat tight. He came in the woods as I was coming to full draw, he walked down the exact trail I needed him to and at 25 yards I stopped him with a soft mouth grunt. The Rage 2 blade took out both shoulders and he did a bull-dozer down through the woods. 100 yards later, he was down for the count. Typical 10 pointer with a small kicker near his right G4, about 18" inside, G2's and 3's are about 8-9". :cool: Mike set up his camera on a little 5" tripod to take this picture, I think it turned out great. From L to R, Woody - who is my good friend from high school and the land-owner, me and Mike. Thanks for reading all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Tom and face it, your story about Ohio having no big bucks does not hold any truth to it anymore! I was giving you the benefit of last years buck being a fluke buck that got lost and wandered into Ohio by mistake!!! Now I am onto you and your buddy Chris' plan to keep all the big bucks in your state!!! Awesome buck, you da man!! 2 years in a row with awesome bucks taken with a bow! Great job!!!

Tominator Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Congrats again Tom. Outstanding deer. I sent Tom a PM early in the morning with a medical update, and he usually answers right away, but he didn't today. That usually means 2 things--he's golfing or hunting. I figured it was too cold to golf, so I said to myself "that booger went hunting...." Good deal. My turn I hope, lol. Did Mike green score him?

Now I am onto you and your buddy Chris' plan to keep all the big bucks in your state!!! Awesome buck, you da man!! 2 years in a row with awesome bucks taken with a bow! Great job!!! See above comment..... Congrats again Tom. Outstanding deer. I sent Tom a PM early in the morning with a medical update, and he usually answers right away, but he didn't today. That usually means 2 things--he's golfing or hunting. I figured it was too cold to golf, so I said to myself "that booger went hunting...." Good deal. My turn I hope, lol. Did Mike green score him? I'm saving golf for this Saturday...... I taped him myself, nothing official but grossed at about 132", netted at 125 2/8".... Not the king, but not a skipper to me.
