Nice! How exciting it must have been to see it on the hoof. Good job. Our farm does not have proper crops to encourage large racks. The bucks we're taking seem to be getting bigger every year though. Maybe next year.

I'd suggest you plant some FoodPlots...corn, sorgum etc.....and make some "natural mineral deposits.

I've been lucky in that I've seen a lot of pretty nice bucks in my days.

Here's the first one I ever took with a bow. When we cut the heart out, it had three clean broadhead cuts right through the center. I'm a frickin dead-eye (or lucky).

Hmm.

Well, I know that Nebraska Game and Parks is pretty into land conservation, in fact the deer I shot was on CRP land (open to the public.) I've seen plenty of nice 4X4 or 6X6 bucks, but never a 10 pointer like that. There is also some Indian Reservation land to the north where racks like these are common...unfortunately I'm not an Indian... :shake:

Very nice!

ONe of these years, I should try the bow hunting. I've really only been hunting for about 6 years, so the thrill is still there with a rifle. And seriously, every deer I've taken in the last 3 years could have been easily taken with a bow, they were that close.

15 yards, standing broadside upwind.........with clear shooting lanes isn't even always an easy shot with a bow.

The Monster I saw 2 fridays ago.....and we're talking "iowanian getting paid" monster..........was a pretty easy 50 yard shot with a shotgun...........but unthinkable for a responsible hunter with a bow.

I hope I see that bastage in the morning..........

A friend of mines wife brought home a 15 pointer this year. In SW MO! That's a monster deer for these parts. She's a conservation agent and she busted the guy for shooting the deer from the road. I bet he's still sick to his stomach.

PhilFree :arrow:

My Father-in-law shot this one a week after I got mine, thunder-stealin' bastard. At least he blew his back out dragging him out.:)

I have bow hunted for 4 years now and haven't harvested a deer, but there still isn't any other type of hunting that I have done that compares to bow hunting. You really get in tune with the timber and the deer.

All that aside, I have a "Rambo" belt full of 12 ga. slugs and a Remington 1100 that won't be too concerned with being in tune with the timber this weekend. It is now time to throw lead at those whitetail infidels.

Yung..........I'll tie one to a tree for you tonight.

Did you get the cows fed?:)

I'd imagine you're still hungry.........but I probably won't put out the silage until milking time....If I can ever get the heads stomped on all these kittens.

As soon as Granny gets done darnin my socks, I'll hitch up the team and go get you a bale.

I am awful tired of that dam hay,,,,I think I'll take some corn. oh yea it's awfully cold out here can I have a blanket?

Hey, You can have a few of ours if you need more? :hmmm:

WOW, WOW, WOW. What I would give to see that walk up to my stand!
