Nice buck and that "sissy bow" definitely did the job. Wonderful picture.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Nice Ryan. How's your dad/mom doing? I met them a long time ago when you were very little and living in Ohio. He's the man who got me to put down my compound and go back to trad. I owe him a lot. He also taught me how to sharpen 3 blade heads.

Those midwest genetics and fine food sure make some fine bruisers at 3 1/2!

Congrats Ryan......beautiful buck.  Persistence pays off!

Something very special about, " Snow Bucks ". Love the extreme peacefullness of the woods with a blanket of snow on them. We do not get the luxury of snow here in TN that often but have killed two deer in the past two seasons in the snow and it was so special.

Congrats Ryan on a fine buck ! Thanks for sharing.

Nice buck Ryan...

I've got vacation following Christmas - New Year's so I'm going to be at them pretty hard... hopefully!  I'm hoping for some snow also... never killed one in the snow...

Nice one Ryan.  Last night and this morning would be great days to hunt.  I live in N Central IN and the deer on my plot have been few and far between this year.  Glad yours has produced!

What a dandy Ryan!  Congratulations - a mature late season buck like that is quite an accomplishment!
