hangunnr Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 After several years of busting my tail on the farm I lease I was finally able to connect on a good buck. The morning started out wet and windy. The rain let off about 5:30 am but the north wind kept on blowing. I'd say there were somewhere around 50 shots heard between 6:30 and 8:00am. The locals that surround me blast at anything that moves... After the early morning barrage I really didn't have much hope to see anyhting but I stayed on stand just in case... At 9:10 I turned to survey the field behind me and low and behold this guy was standing there just 50yds out. I heart shot him with a Remington Copper Solid and that's all she wrote for this buck. He went another 50-60yds then piled up. I believe this is the same buck I got a velvet picture of this spring. What do you think... ....and yes, he's going to get mounted... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't think the buck in the velvet pic is the buck you killed. Look how the velvet buck's brows curve inward. The buck you killed has poker-straight brows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Very nice Charlie. Congratulations. Got to agree with Don on the brows and it being a different deer. One in the pic in the field brows curve in, your deer the brows look to go straight up just about staying the same distance apart all the way up.

hangunnr Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yeah, after further thought it dosen't appear to be the same buck.... Hopefully the one in the velvet picture will survive till next year...he'll be a stud then... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hangunnr Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Found the bullet when we skinned him out this evening. Original weight was 437.5gr. As she sits it still weighs 437.1gr. That's pretty impressive retention. When I checked this deer for my metal possession tag they weighed him at 228lbs with a wet hide. I was a little skeptical of that being accurate but it likely was because after 30 hours of hang time he still weighed 212 fully drained out with a dry hide. Green score on the rack comes out to 132" B&C. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
