zone1935 5 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I just wanted to post some pics of my good fortune this year. I got a nine pointer at 60 yards with a lung shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EJ45 38 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Looks like a big solid deer! Plenty of good eating there. Im still holding out for the "big one" down here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Mmmmmm.... Tasty vittles!!! Good going ! Enjoy it. I made some summer sausage from some of my deer this year. Great food that is a bargain, eh? Plus...any excuse to post a pick of my 5 point, Western count as that would be, (read: MAN count) Hahaha! Never did really understand the diff. Doesn't matter the Antlers anyway if ya can't eat em! Glad you filled your tag! Not so many folks I know had any luck this year. But we do have a large "Predator" impact lately in Montana.

That is a great buck you got there. what did you take it with? We have to use slugs, blackpowder, or a pistol. I don't mind though, I love taking the ol' s-12 out with me.

IndyArms 10,184 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 So how do you count a deer out "west" if on one side hes got three, and the other side hes got 5??? Is that still a "5 point"? or is he a 4 point?? or what?!?!? Thats why in the east we just count ALL the points over an inch long, and give the total. easier than trying to figure which side to count, or do math... OH!!! I got it... Cause normally down south... you have ONE hand for the fingers to count on... ( and you dont get a lot of deer over "5 points"... cause the OTHER Hand is full... ( with a beer can... ya know... "Here yall, watch this... hold my beer!" ) NOW I got it and understand!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah, weird, we gotta say "It's a 4 by 5 or a 2 by 3" Sounds like lumber measurements to me. I took my deer with my Saga .308 this year. Shot him at approx. 80 to 100 yards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
