    Shot this guy on a little piece of stateland in Houston county at 2pm last Thursday afternoon. I had no more than brushed away the leaves next to my tree when I heard him comin over the hill. Hit him hard with the first shot at 35-40yds. He only ran about 50-60yds before droppin dead .

    He’s not huge by any means, but after passing on dozens of little bucks over the last 2-3 years, it was nice to get that barrel blazzin again

    That’s an awesome looking buck Jake
    What is his inside spread, do you know what he scores?
    Are you going to have him mounted?

    Hey John——>

    but thanks for the congrats…….You guys make me feel so special

    Sorry Steve……I didn’t bother gettin any measurements on him. I think I’m going to get a skull mount done (boil and bleach it). I’ve already got 2 head mounts of very similar sized bucks on my wall, so I thought I’d try something different with this guy .

    I passed on a iffy shot at a buck that looked to be this guys identical twin about an hour after I got done guttin this one. Just a nice massive 3 1/2 year old 8pt. I decided that he has the possibility of being a true brute next year, so I let him walk in hopes that he’ll make it through the next few weeks (plus I really didn’t want to drag out 2 deer in one night ).

    Jake: Nice buck. In our hunting camp that is what we call a nice table buck. Good eating.
