Congrats Mike that's a brute of a buck ... I see you have been practicing your smile    

[Herdbull]

Thanks elkken. Yes I'm smiling on the inside. Seriously, when alone I moved back and forth from camera setting timer to in-frame. It goes off most of the time before I'm set. Its easier if some one was there and you smile to them instead of open air.

Here is one where the inner-smile came to the surface.  Believe me I was happy..... still am. Ha! Ha!  Thanks for calling me out. Ha!

Congrats what a brute.  Spot any big mulies?

[Ruff Hewn]

Nice!!! Is that a Dave Miller bow?

[Herdbull]

Keb, I only had a chance to spot and hunt in Nebraska for three days. I saw 8 bucks. Two were OK 5 pts of medium mass and width, but there were reported several giants in the area prior to the gun season and servey crew. But going from 60 deer a day to 1, left me uncertain. I decided to go back to Illinois to use my vacation instead of taking a chance on the Nebraska area. They may be done now, and the cold weather may have brought the mulies back to their normal haunt along river bottom and agriculture. I hope to go back in future years.

The bow is a Tall Tines by Brian Wessel. We got the rat snake skins from Mike Yancy, and Brian put them on.
