hydrillagorilla2, That buck deserves a cold one congrats man. I would like to know the score of the monster.

THAT is the definition of the hunt. scouting that buck for years was totally worth it.

Way to go glad to hear you got him . He looks bigger in the back of the truck than in the pictures i'd be interested in what he scores. Looks like he still has all his points i imagine he might have broke off a few during the rut.

Awsome deer dude, congrats.

You're freekin kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is totally awsome. I am excited for you man. That just made my day. I totally understand how hard it is to get a trail camera buck. I want to hear the story.

with my amatuer scoring he green scored 172.  

I went out on the second weekend of the season and it was not great weather conditions.  We hunted Saturday and called it due to the weather being in the 90's.  

I pulled the trail cam card and he had not been around as much.  Our weather dropped 30 degrees basically overnight and I decided that Thursday would be the best chance I had to catch him on the hoof due to two things:

1.) the temps had dropped for the first time this year and he would feel the need to eat more

2.) I was thinking I only had another week or so and he would be off his lazy (patternable) summer pattern.

So I headed out by my lonesome.  Was in the stand by 3:30 in the afternoon and was seeing deer all evening.  He came out just before dark and presented me wth a broadside at 25 yards and I took it.  He ran into this little stand of woods to my right and to my ear he was still in there.  I climbed down, check where the shot was taken, found blood and quietly walked out back to my truck (1 mile away due the path I had to take to get into the stand with minimal scent issues).  Once at the truck I began calling all my bros for something to do while I waited the obligitory hour.  After about an hour and half I drove my truck closer and walked up there.  I  immediatly found my arrow - the blood looked like paunch and I got a sick feeling in my stomach and went back to my truck to wait another hour.  after another hour I went back up and 'looped' into the little wood lot where I thought he was and he was there!!!!  

Great day!  Thanks for the replies, I am still quite happy.

THAT IS A FREAKIN AWESOME BUCK!!!!!!!

Are you going to mount this one?     The twin drop tines on one side is unique itself.

Cool story, great deer, and nice shot...

Matt.

YOU BET HE IS GOING ON THE WALL!  He will have several relatives whom he did not have a chance to meet with him there as well.  I am still in La La land!

I just got back from bowhunting camp (I was only camp _______ ). My buddy took this nice 10 point on Saturday night. This is his first bow buck!

CAUTION BLOOD!

A COUPLE BETTER PICS OF B.M.O.C.

If you need any more taken care of i have a bow, arrows, camo, and a tag ready to go.

Nice buck you and your buddy.

Congrats man!

That's to cool!Did you get him with a bow?Regardless,he is a nice buck!

CJ look at the pictures and you will see.

wow what a season  

Yea, it has been pretty unreal!  We have one guy left in camp who hasn't harvested yet.  He still has our rut coming and he is the only one hunting archery on the property!  

Thanks for looking and patting me on the back!  It feels great!  

Good luck to all the hunters on here!
