replys to both questions… not a lot of grey on the buck’s head but had a long muzzle, i am absolutely no expert but guessing 4 1/2 or 5 1/2… and yes gross scored as typical, looking at close to 13 inches of deductions or so… thanks to all also for the responses…
well finally got onto the computer and figured i could prolly help in the pics department and storyline… as Eric already mentioned 14 scorable points, grossed 189 5/16,and dressed at 200 lbs. although my facial espression may not show it (not a picture person i guess) i am absolutely glowing to say the least… shot on public land… now a bit of the story… against my better judgement i was antsy to try somthing new as it was still early in the morning and i had success early in the week rattling, telling myself it was too late to do so cause the bucks would have somthing else on thier mind i let out a couple sequences, within a min. i had a spike come from in front of me (not too sure what he was thinking) as he continued past i could hear deep grunts behind me, looking back there was a small ten standing on the other side of a thicket looking for trouble.. short story he eventually left and on my first glance back ahead of me i caught a glimpse of yet another deer, not knowing size besides the body i grabbed the grunt tube and started a series, before i was done the buck turned and started straight at me… it wasn’t until he hit the 50 yd range that i noticed just how big he really was and he kept getting bigger…. those who know me, know that me and keeping composure dont go well together with deer, shaking and freaking out literally, i drew as he crossed behind a tree and he closed to 10 yds… amazingly the arrow was true and the buck went 60 yds before making the distinct “crash”… heres a few of the better pics.. although the one is not a great background i felt it showed his swooping beams and knot holes a bit better than others…
hey thanks for the tips i am planning on hitting the woods this weekend and plan on trying a little bit more howling thanks for the help everyone.

hey thanx guys. I havn’t gotten the chance to buy a howler but I will definatly do so but when i call howl long do you let out a howl and what would be more productive or I guess what do I do after I howl wait for a response and then distress call or wait to see if one will come in?

yep I plan on hunting for them but later on in december when they are more desperate 
the good ol’ 7mm-08 will easily take care of them and if any of them decide to come past me on sat. they won’t stand a chance.

say just wondering when does coon season open? the other night when I was sitting in my stand I saw 11 of those things they are pretty hilarious to watch but I’ve never really hunted for them either.

the heck with that I just got a new Hoyt and it’s unbeleivable but then again most of it is personal preference. but at least this year I don’t have any excuses if I miss.

well then I guess that’s one thing in common “teamates”
probably 10 or so lbs. I have missed a lot BIGGER ones to.
I play for elk mound I am a freshman but I start on varsity. I’m playing tonight at altoona.
I wouldn’t go for it. my dad used to as a kid and used to bomb the trout but now someone put a whole pile of northerns in there and are wiping the trout right out so now most are up in the crick. Out of the 6 years I have fished there IN the lake I have only caught about 4 or 5 pretty much on worms or rapalas. other than that I wouldn’t make a trip out to the lake to go just for trout I would definatley go in the creek. Tonight 5/26 after baseball practice a couple buddies and me are going to fish for bass and shoot some carp with our bows. so hopefully we’ll have a blast like old elk lake always gives us. on the crick now I would go next to dodge taxidermy if you know where it is. the closest little truck parking area is where we are catching the trout I would go down crick from the little bridge then work back up. The bridge has a nice hole below I might do some worming in there. But we are using mostly worms and mepps. the darker colors seem to be more effective
good luck!

heck on 4/3/05 sunday night I took up the blind to some nearby woods that I new had some turkeys well got up there I kicked out three hens. Then I got a gobbler to go at it nonstop for about ten minutes. that was awesome Even though he didn’t come to were I could see him he roosted in a tree about 100 yrds. away. I had two squirrels come within a couple feet of the blind. and that was about it it was awesome to see this this early

try putting the call out a ways from you I think it’s because they don’t see the usual crow brauls flying threw the air usually they circle, at least they do for me and I put my radio about 50 yds. from where I am sitting and the usually when they circle that’s when they go down I tried calling for a couple min. on sunday but no luck but hopefully this helps a little.

yeah I’ve seen them in gander but never did get one. I sometimes take 4-5 of my squirrel tails and tie them to a stick but I guess I just haven’t had the luck of seeing a coyote to tell if they really react to them or not.
