What a pristine and magnificent deer, Rob! That is what bowhunting is all about! You and the deer… one-on-one! I have been bowhunting long enough to know that as soon as you walk from your vehicle you must be prepared! Hunting the rut can be a “Never seen a thing!” deal, or “Wow the woods was alive with action today!” Sounds like you had the lader of the two!
I loved the story all the way even to giving out photo tips! Last year when we found my deer my buddies wouldn’t let me field dress my buck because I was shakin to much! “That’s my big buck tip of the day, Rob!!” It works!
I had my pictures taken before field dressing. Digital cameras work better too…you can look at them in the field to see how they look! My first pictures taken by my buddy had a big weed in the deers face! ROOKIES!

Once again…GREAT JOB, ROB! Here’s wishin you the best on your Western trip for Mr. Big also!

One a side note, do you know anyone who could age that buck? He sure looks like an old boy, I would be curious as to what a animal biologist would come back and say his age was?

---

I got the cape in my garage and have not took a good look at him yet. My taxidermist aged my last deer I brought to him and that big boy was 5.5 years old. Mack, I will see what I can do. I’m guessing by the weight, body size, and characteristics of his chest and belly and I thought he would go 3.5 maybe 4.5 years old. But that is with no real science behind it. If you look at hi snout though he has a ton of gray in it, pretty cool, with long curly brown on his forehead. He has a long snout with that roaming nose bump. So perhaps he is 4.5????

Thanks GUYS!

Some washed up sporting goods manager, now I think he is a used car salesman

Just kidding Corey! Again thanks a ton Corey Having the confidence in your eqipment is a huge factor in being successful in the field. Thanks again!

You are correct. I have had a lucky horseshoe up my since starting bowhunting less than 8 years ago. I have had the priveledge to hunt some incredible land. But you still need to do your homework, put many hours in the stand,scouting, and observing deer behavior. Then do the little things that other people over look to get close and stay close to these Brusisers. This is what I believe is the key and my knack. Staying close and staying undetected by these brusiers. This includes while in the stand, your travel to and from the stand, etc, anytime you are in the woods, even if it is just hanging a stand. Leaving no trace of your presence no where in his terrirtory at any time of the year except Jan-March. One time of not being careful is all it takes for these mature bucks to know you are hunting them and they are either gone off to another farm or becomes nocturnal. Although, the rut can be awfully Hunter friendly on those magical days in the woods. If you hunt the rut long enough, you know what I mean . Just ask Zimmy, he eluded to it early in his post. Those are the days every bow hunter dreams of. Those are the days to sit in stand all day long. You do this enough, you will be rewarded

You got to remember, most of you are just “FISHING GEEKS” . I just fish to pass the time until I can chase Bucks like these. This is my true passion, then it is chasing Roosters or birds with Rufus, then comes fishing. Unless you are talking Fall Mille Lacs bite. This is getting to be high up on the list also .

So when are we going to pound some Roosters Corey? My dog is now offically back out of shape and is wound up like a top, ready to burst. Let me know Corey and good luck in CHEESELAND!
