Poison Snake has one down.

Guess again PS - I wouldn't have shot the deer. I got a 10 on the wall, don't need another 10...or for that matter an 8 that "looks" like a 10! Oh and another thing, I'm also sure of what I'm shooting..or not shooting, as the case may be, so I don't have to make comments like this:

I had no time to judge anything at all.

In my mind, I was thinking between 130 and 140". Boy was I wrong.

I had no idea how many points this deer had. I knew that it had 8 for certain, but I thought it was a 10 pointer that I had seen twice before.

I kept telling my brother that I hoped it wasn't an 8 pointer. I was sick when I found that it was.

Didn't you have some of those same excuses last year?? Dude, you've shot enough deer that you shouldn't be so susceptible to buck fever...what gives??

[PoisonSnake]

You call that freak rack you have on the wall a 10. Now, tell me this; if that monster over there just happens to be a 10 pointer that scores 170", are you gonna pass on him because he is only a 10 pointer?

I know it's not much to look at, but hey, least it's more than 5 points!
I said bigger, not necessarily more points. BTW...the freak was probably 14 points and 170" +/- LAST YEAR. Nobody has seen the brute this year...or so they say. But I did find an 8-10" diameter cedar tree that he's destroyed. I figure my last best chance is tomorrow and Friday...then I'm rat fornicated.

That is a good point Snowflake. I would love to get to that caliber of a hunter. I just don't see enough 140" deer to even go to those links. That is why if I think 130", I am usually shooting and asking questions later. Now, last year with a gun, I didn't kill a deer. I could have shot 2 10s that would easily score 130". I was proud of myself. With a bow, once it gets close to 125", I am usually shooting. I wish I were a bit better at judging animals, but oh well.

I think some fellas forget how big a 120" deer really is... specially up close and personal when bow hunting.

Hobie - Now that is funny right there....I don't care who you are.

[Altonite]

I would have whacked him without a second thought !!!!!!! Let's see some pictures.

[fishin]

Where's the pic's?? I would have whacked also, but I am not in search of a 160"

[PoisonSnake]

I am still in search for the 160". I will continue to be in search of him for years to come. Especially if I keep whacking 120" deer.

[RB]

My humble apologies to the PS on his trophy

[fishin]

You'll never get one if you keep killing 120"'s. My search however is not nearly as specific but I am particular.

[PoisonSnake]

Damnit I have already agreed with Snowflake on that one. Don't keep reminding me of something I already know.

[fishin]

Sorry

Still, how many years are you going to blow smoke up our asses about big deer. I just got in from too many days in the field. I saw a 170 inch buck yesterday that would have made your donkey so tight a straw couldn't have been sledgehammered into it. And, AGAIN you show up talking about an average deer. Aren't you the guys who told Tom he should be able to tell a button buck from a yearling doe by sight. And he has hammered truly impressive deer 2 years in a row. No excuses necessary. I am starting to think that your group is a bunch of hacks.
