I don't think I have shot at a Moberly Trad Shoot or is that the one where I met up with Strubby once???

Ahh, home sweet home.  Great country, eh, Steve.  You probably already know it, but that is one heckuva nice blacktail!  Congratulations.

I'm going out tomorrow. Hope I get a chance at the huge buck I say last weekend! Your pictures have did a good job of getting me stoked for the hunt! It's interesting that some guys have said the bucks they took had very little fat on them. I hope the remaining bucks can winter over ok if we have a hard winter.   Thanks, David

I didn't have a basis for comparison for these deer and what kind of winters they are up againts but no, there was very little fat.  He was a bit gaunt, I assumed from chasing does.

Might also have something to do with his age.

Maybe you intercepted him on the way to the dentist...you said he appeared to need some crowns.

A few months from now when I get the age I'll resurrect this thread and post it.  My guess is 8 minimum but we'll see.

Oh and by the way, I went and looked at this spot and others that I had been on the ground at on Google Earth and there is a lot of good scouting for funnels than can happen ahead of a hunt for anyone contemplating a trip like this to OR from an unfamilar area.

....and the story unexpectedly continues.

Benny calls me last night and says he is watching the weather reports and it looks like a break so he changes from not scheduling any patients on Friday to none on Tuesday.  He would get up early and travel to the closer spot and hunt there.

This morning my cell phone breaks the silence; I'm the only one at work.  Benny whispers:  "I just shot a nice buck but I didn't get much penetration".  We discussed the scenario and he decides to wait seveal hours.  He then says "I think I see the buck!  I gotta go."

..and there I am hanging.....
