Mike,

I'd be absolutely stunned just to see deer like these two while hunting, but to actually have shots at them, that is something I can only dream of!!!

You certainly know how to bring home the bacon....er, I mean venison!!!      :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    

Congrats Mike! Folks in other parts of the country can only dream about whitetails that size and would be grateful to take one in that range once in their lifetimes.  You are truly blessed in the heart of whitetail land!

I'd bet that Rob could figure out how to make a "rotating" avatar so you could show both "doubles".

Nice Mike!  I think there's an old quote from Mark Twain that goes something like this - "I'm a great believer in luck, the harder I work, the more I have of it."  To do what you do over and over, well that's not luck...  Congratulations!!  Thanks for sharing.  todd

I can only dream about taking "a" buck like either one, let alone two.  Congrats on putting all together twice (this year, not counting all the others)!!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Can't wait until my kids grow up and move out so I can put in half the time it takes to put into some deer like that. Congrats Mike. Mike

Congratulations Mike. Only hard-core dedication can yield those results. I just hope you left something up there for Whitey to chase!!
