Some deer from my stepdad's farm

[Rafe Hollister]

These were taken by my stepbrother, stepdad, and a friend of theirs over the last several years. They're hanging in my stepbrother's garage. I took the pictures while I was up there last weekend.

First one is from Nov. 2011 by stepbrother.



Second is from Nov. 2011 by stepdad's friend. Left side is bent in front of G-4, leaving an inward turn and crabclaw.



This one was from about 5 years ago. Unreal mass, and the right side deformed from an injury to the left rear leg.


My stepdad killed this one a couple years ago. He farms, and doesn't care what he kills--to him, all deer are crop-eating pests and he kills the first one to come along. This was the first.


These are just a couple of good, symmetrical 8's with great mass. And one with not much mass.

And you kill turkeys?

Man, how wide is that 10pt on the wall?

[Rafe Hollister]

I didn't measure, but I'd estimate 24".

A few years ago in one of his fields, he had a buck run in front of him as he was combining corn. He said each antler was hitting the corn stalks, and the rows are 30 inches wide. I think that deer was taken that season and made North American Whitetail or some other magazine.

Is this the jackass who wouldn't let us turkey hunt his place?

[PoisonSnake]

Kind of reminds me of the wall of sammich. Minus the little ones of course.

[Rafe Hollister]

Yeah, Craig, that's the guy.
