Big Ontario buck** PICS!**

[B.O.D.]

Was talking with the taxidemist yesterday at  a sportsman show/ indoor 3D shoot in a cattle/horse show arena.
the taxidermist said he was pretty sure that the deer was shot with a longbow( Up here that could mean a modern recurve and sights, longbow or a selfbow, they are all lumped into the "longbow" class); the buck was 5 1/2 years old and was shot off a bean field just south of Ottawa about 35 min from me..
Man, what would you do if ya saw this big puppy coming out of the bush in Nov.????    :eek:      :eek:         We are getting some serious class bucks up here now.
the hunter had been trying to kill it for 3 years, finally got lucky. Apparently is was a 16 yard shot off the ground.
Enjoy.

WOW

the guy that I talked to is a great taxidermist; he had a beautiful head mount of a bear that looked like a "real"bear looking back at you, no fake looking snarling, teeth knashing bear was this fella.
I forgot to take a pic of the bear, but here is a coyote pedestal mount that he had there, very real looking.

You'd almost have to quit hunting after you shot something like that!

That's a monster. Congrats to the hunter.  I've always been intrigued by hunting deer in October ever since I saw photos of some of the deer in "one Mans Whitetail"  I think the photographers name was Fred law or something. What a beauty.

If big deer are common in Ontario and not heavily pressured like here in Ohio...I'm on my way!!!!
