Another nice 10 point my youngest son Trent took at the farm this afternoon. After George Jr., my oldest missed him yesterday afternoon...Geo

The rut was especially hard on that buck, Geo. He might not have made it through the winter.
Nice older buck

May God bless America and those who defend her.

I thought the same thing Stan...Geo
Either that or we're all going to get Mad Cow disease.

Stan, Why would you say an older buck? By the look of his antlers and very small G4 and G5 I would say he was 3 years and very symmetrical. Leaving him for another year may have seen a significant improvement on his tines.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Son's brother in law was hunting with him yesterday. He is a wildlife biologist and examined the teeth; about worn down to nothing. Guess that's why he was stuck on the green plot; couldn't eat hard mast...Geo
I think we're safe from Mad Cow, but the meat's going to be not so great.

Gunmaker, That's an incredable monochromatic effect in your picture that really shows well, great job! Karl

Not the greatest photo, but a bit of a milestone: my first ever woodcock and Gilley's first bird. Flushed, shot, and retrieved. The gun is a 5 lb 6 oz. Verney-Carron 20 gauge from the mid-1950s with light 27-inch tubes opened to .003" and .010" by Bob Day. Well used little thing with moderate pitting in the bores and typical carry wear on the receiver, but easy to carry and comes up quick. I'm not sure who was more surprised, me, Gilley, or the bird. Probably the bird.
