WV opening day buck (update)
« on: October 19, 2008, 09:37:00 AM »
Here's my biggest buck to date taken with traditional gear, a fat 6-point taken in Summers county.  I got him yesterday morning on opening day here in WV.  Not a record book buck by any stretch of the imagination, but a trophy in my book - and he was surprisingly big-bodied (bucks in this area of WV aren't that great genetically, this ol'boy didn't have a trace of brow times).  Taking this buck with traditional gear made this kill a thousand times more satisfying than a compound or firearm kill.

(A special thanks to my buddy, "Bloodhound" Bobby Graham of G-Strings for the help with the tracking job.  Bob can find an eyelash you dropped in the woods two years ago.)

Congats nice WV deer...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

Luck has nothing to do with it, just Boot leather and a GWP.
