Not often you see Izzy smiling so much in a picture...we were kidding with the others about the chances of having 2 Puerto Ricans from NY in a hunting camp in Texas...and both of us killing bucks!

"GRAND" is a good word to describe it.One of my favorite all time hunts before I ever dropped a string on a critter. Curt, while 2 PRs in a bowhunting camp may be uncommon I think we should try for at least one repeat.   :thumbsup:

Indeed a grand adventure, and a job well done in the sharing of the event for those of us who couldn't be there.  I am still waiting to hear more of Michael's last day in the tripod.  Does cam e in and left on sound of a swallow, hardly rates a BS rating.  Having been there I know a swallow is certainly loud enough to spook the deer.  I want to hear the unbelievable part, no tease and leave     :readit:  .  Besides this thread has been one of my major drive as the dark and snow of winter in the north country has set in.

I was finally able to get catch up w/ this thread.Lots of snow  means extra long work days.It seems that is the way this GRAND EVENT started.

Larry I am so glad that your buck was found.Congradulations  :thumbsup:  

It does feel like a fitting end finding that buck later.Those that were there know that there was definatly a higher power hard at work.

I'll bet he was saving his best work until the end.

I couldn't keep up after about page 25,  but it is clear this was a special hunt for everyone.

Ok I just got caught up.


Wwow,Wow, Wow.
Congratulations Larry and Curt.  Larry I'm tickled you had some closure on your Buck.  Thats a relief I bet.  He looks to be a heavy horned ol'boy.  I bet he got the blood pumpin when he was under your stand.

Guru...what can I say.  You are "da-man"!!
Thanks for all the great vid and pics.  For some reason I found the "Heavy Eyelids" comment very funny.  I had never heard that one before. Must be a taxidermist thing.  Or maybe just a Leica Binocular thing.  Thems some darn fine glass.  :goldtooth:  

"He didnt have a big rack but damn his eyelids were huge"!!!!  

If you dont mind thats what I'll be saying from now on.   :D      ;)

Yes Randy, It's a taxidermist thing I guess.     ;)    

From studying them, and learning from other that do as well.  It's true for deer(and other critters I guess), they get heavier, and get that saggin' older look to them...

Kinda like me     :thumbsup:

It's claer that this hunt was special one for all involved. Congrats to all who were successful. I guess that means everyone because from the read you can surely tell that an animal did not have to be taken for this gsthering to be successful for all involved. I hope to meet all you guys again somewhere in the future.

Take it easy,

Bisch
