I was wondering what that white thing was on your index finger.  I eat the heart you swap blood with the critter.  

How cool to have taken him with the widow. It was the widow right.

Hey...I went out here lastnight and after settling in realized I hadn't switched back to broadheads after our practice session saturday.  I stayed til dark anyway and was glad a bruiser didn't show.   It aint easy being me.

I could see everything you described in my minds eye. Nice job!!   Thanks bud!!

Man what a great thread. Congrats on the result of your persistance!

[Oldlodgeskins]

and nice buck.  what a treat to have all those monsters in the perimeter.  Good thing we are leaving them to do some breeding.

Kudos Jim! Way to stay in the hunt and succeed after many days afield. That's bruiser of a buck.

[Oldlodgeskins]

now the "orange war" starts here in wi.  what a joke it has become.  what was once a family tradition has become a ...lead flinging, bait piling every man for himself shootathon.   There is nothing I like about rifle season except my son coming home.  I try to keep my distain to myself for him.  

good luck to all of you trad guys.

WOW Jim Congrats on the fine buck.  You have hunted harder than anyone i know and have been payed off well.

I was a few days behind on this thread. Now I will be late for my 6 pm engagement but it was worth every post.  

AWESOME!!!!!

No wonder I was having a tough time of it moving him on the slope last night. Before skinning him I moved him to the shed with the scale.

After 24 hours hanging, the hanging weight is 193!

 

Its been a long time since I killed a buck with a 200 plus live weight! Nobody can say I don't feed them good!

Sorry Charlie!

[South MS Bowhunter]

Great!  I new your day was coming Jim, it was just a little delayed      

[JJB]

Congratulations Jim!  I was hoping you'd connect with a big one soon.  Your story has been very enjoyable to follow this fall, thanks for taking the time to write everything up and add photos of your beautiful place.

Nice buck!! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your hunting season with us!

[Hopewell Tom]

I like the picture of that buck hanging "on the pole". You really see the size then.
This whole thread has energized me to set up our property better. You have stands all over, sometimes bump deer going in or out, but you kept at it. I don't have food plots, but we have doe groups living here and I'm keen to get set up on known travel routes.
Thanks again. Good luck with those doe tags.

[Gary Greene]

Nice buck!!! Thanks for sharing.

[mb bowman]

Good job Jim. A big old bear and now a big old Buck!

[Shinken]

Most-excellent outcome LBM!

Thanks for takin' us Trad Gangers along on the hunt!

Not only will you have some fine-dinin' and excellent memories of the hunt, but it sounds like you will have some serious antler huntin' come spring lookin' for those 7 x 7 sheds....

AWESOME!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken
