I know you guys are in a different realm than most of us but...seriously...you guys need help. Theres something wrong with you passing on that buck. Maybe a "sports psychiatrist"???
Are you positive you grew up in Vermont??? :D
Seriously Gene, thanks for the stories of your season. Awesome read.

If you can pass up a buck like that, then you are there truely for the love of the hunt.
Good luck on taking some does. I hope the weather becomes a bit more mild for you first.
It`s the dang wind that will get ya!
Here`s to October 2010!!!
Thanks for the play by play!

I believe that buck has a smirk on his facing, knowing full well that he falls short of your minimums. Next year, he won't be quite so smug...or cooperative. Can't wait to see who's wearing the smirk next year. Thanks for sharing the adventures.

Great read Gene. I have to agree that this season was one of the best season for close encounters for I as well. Better luck next year and I look forward to seeing you and your better half at the show this month in Michigan. Thanks once again, Dave.

I'm not going to say "Better luck next year" because you and Barry probably have long since quit the numbers game and have gone to the personal satisfaction element.
I'd like to know, from the game cam pictures you gather during the year, how many bucks you photograph would make it as bucks you would kill?

So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing. Don't even wait for your annual vacation. Go at every opportunity. Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Mark........anything broadside, over 160" class, preferably 5 1/2 years old and inside the 20 yard line. Unless he is slightly smaller with a bad attitude or a really cool face :>)

Gene, that deer will scare 160 gross this year.
I suspect if he was a mainframe 5 * 5 his face may have looked a little "cooler" to you as well.
He'll be a dandy next year.

Great stuff!!
Bucks of that magnitude seem foreign and weird to me. I would probably stare in awe and forget I even have a bow in hand.

Gene- fess up- I think you have target panic so bad that you can't pull the string! Remember John Vargo when he couldn't do it? He switched to left hand shooting and it worked! Give him a call- maybe it'll work for you. If not -just make a video for the rest of us to enjoy.

Nice buck - and he'll be a dandy next year! I reckon I'll see you and the bearded one (Barry -beard; Gene - unshaven..right?) at KZoo "pressing the flesh" if the blizzard holds off this year. I'll bring you a picture of the Old Man's rotator cuff recovery buck...he shot a 181 inch non-typical right before the shotgun season with his 42lb therapy bow. I suppose he'll eat his other 2 tags unless he goes after a cull buck here late season.
later
