What the hell did he shot him with, nasty big hole in it's side.
That's a once in a lifetime buck, beautiful.
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
Bow season.
Exploding broadheads!
Maybe it's just the way it looks in the pics, but that deer don't look big enough to have antlers like that to me. I'm not saying it's a fake, but that's a lot of headgear for such a small bodied deer.

DD - These are Blue Ridge Mountain deer not those cornfed monsters you guys hunt out in the mid West.

I know that we are spoiled by the size of our deer and they don't get that big everywhere, but they still look funny to me with antlers that big and a small skinny body.
A few years ago my mom was wintering in Florida, (no comments Thump) and when I was visiting her and a couple of my uncles that live down there too, they took me Homosassa to a wildlife park. They had a bunch of deer there and I asked one of the workers if they were all yearlings or fawns. They looked at me funnny and said that those deer were all several years old. I doubt the largest of them would have field dressed at much over 110 pounds. To me, that is a 1 1/2 year old doe. A 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 year old buck will all be at average 180 dressed out.

I killed a deer two years ago that weighed 188 field dressed at the processor. They were amazed at the size of the thing. I know it's the figgest bodied deer I've ever seen. Around these parts 150lbs is a big buck and most does won't go over 100. Florida deer are even smaller. (I hear everything is smaller that way in Florida. Right Thump?)

Ha! The land of small d***s and big d***s. I guess you filled in the blanks for the first one already.
Beautiful deer Arty. I agree that those chocolate antlers are out of this world. You won't see a prettier deer in many a year on the stand. At least where I hunt.
