processhead super nice buck. Congrats to you. Looks like he’s been battling pretty hard for his share of does.
Thanks, He had a broken G2 on the left side, and after skinning him today, I could see he had his share of body bruises from encounters with other bucks.
processhead we skinned out a buck one year that was a fighting fool. He had a puss filled sore under his eye. He broke 3 tines. When we rolled the skin off his neck we found a 4 inch long broken tine in his neck muscles from another buck! Tough animals!!!

Gotta brag on my 12 year old son. Got his first bowkill ever this morning. He did it by himself cause I was hunting another property. He’s been hunting this buck since October 1st. He passed on alot of smaller bucks waiting for this guy and it paid off. I’m so proud of him to finally show that patience. He did shoot him a little too far back but he only went about 100 yards. I really enjoyed teaching him and my daughter how to follow a blood trail. It was a great day.

cdavis awesome! I love to see kids get involved in the outdoors!!! Great buck!

ND Mike thanks. I’m telling you this boy is on cloud 9. He’s hooked for life.

cdavis Congrats to your son! That is a fine deer.

now that he has harvested one teach him how to process it into what he likes to eat

calldoctoday yep for sure. I won a Thompson Center Omega inline and shot it once and sold it! It was just like shooting my regular deer rifle. I love using a traditional style rifle.
ND Mike Thompson makes a great product that I like, but just don’t like the idea of the in-lines. As you indicated, too much like you regular smokeless rifle. I ran across a guy several years ago that made his own, from scratch, flintlocks. I got to shoot a few of them & it was amazing, wonderful. It takes a real craftsman to create all that from scratch & have it work. I have always wanted to get me a Kentucky long rifle in .32 caliber, but have never found it yet. I made some CVA .50 caliber kits a long time ago & really like them, but the .32 would really be nice. I also restored an old Hopkins & Allen 12 gauge a long time ago that was the best shooting little shotgun ever, but I do not shoot it at all any more.

cdavis Congratulations & nice job young man! That is beautiful. Now you need to get him set up grilling some medallions & making sausage.

The pay-off.
This afternoon I arrowed this guy. He did me the courtesy of going down within sight of my stand. Since I am colorblind and a poor blood trailer, this really helps out.
processhead That is one very nice looking buck! Great job & beautiful buck.
-
Great job, something to be proud of. Keep them in the woods. Will make a great shoulder mount.
Ken1261 yeah I mount heads and he has already picked which form he wants.

cdavis Congrats to your son! That is a fine deer.
processhead thanks. You’re buck looks like he had a large neck and a huge body. It also has a beautiful cape. Any idea what he dressed out at?

craigrice both of my kids love sausage making. Even some of their friends like to get in on the action.

I did not weigh him. Just guessing, 225 lbs based on dragging hime a short distance to our UTV.
The older bucks all got big necks around here right now during the middle of the rut.I skinned and quartered him today. When the meat lugs start filling up, you really see the contrast between the yield from an adult whitetail doe and a mature whitetail buck.
Tomorrow I have hind quarters and shoulders to bone out and package.
