bullets13 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Posted December 16, 2015 An hour and 15 minutes into my 5-day draw hunt I killed a nice buck. 130 4/8 gross 10-point with an 18.5 inch spread. They've got some absolute giants out here, but I couldn't pass up a deer of that quality on the off-chance of seeing something better. I actually saw one that may have been bigger about 30 minutes into the hunt, but couldn't get a shot. I'll see if I can get TVC to post a picture Quote
bullets13 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) TVC is about to post a picture of the buck I watched for an hour tonight at 60 yds. It was painful not being able to shoot him, but there was no way I could pass the one I already got considering there was no guarantee I'd see another deer at all, much less a shooter. That being said, I've seen 9 bucks, 7 of which were legal shooters, 4 of which were wallhangers, and one of which was by far the biggest buck I've ever seen from a stand. the buck tonight was a gorgeous 10-point. Not super wide, maybe 16-17 inches (the one I killed was 18.5), but he was very, very tall with good mass. I'd estimate him between 145-150 inches. Phenomenal deer. This week a 159-inch 12-point, a 140-inch 12-point, a 135-inch 8-point, my 130-inch 10-point, a 122-inch 9-point, a 118-inch 8-point, and a 123-inch 9-point have been taken. My buddy Dan missed a deer he swears would be between 150-160, and he's not prone to exaggeration. This place is amazing. Edited December 18, 2015 by bullets13 Quote
bullets13 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Posted December 18, 2015 Can't see the brow tines there, but they were solid as well. Quote

bullets13 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 Nice deer on a draw hunt at that.I think if he'd made it another year his brow tines were going to split. He had little half-inch stickers on the back of each. Of course if he'd made it another year I woulda never had a chance to shoot him Quote
