ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) A hunter got up early on a cold morning, grabbed a rifle and went to sit up in a tree.He enjoyed a beautiful scenic view.A young buck stepped cautiously out of those woods and peered intently at the tree in which the hunter sat. He knew from past experience that danger lurked in such places.He stepped and stared, and snatched a mouthful of fresh greens, this repeated whilst the hunter dared not move, not even breathe while in view of this wary creature.Then the buck made a mistake and turned to look at a noise within the woods.BANG!That hunter, he shot true and did not miss.But deer are tough and away he tore into the woods, yet he left a trail.A trail the hunter followed till he found that buck with his tail in the dirt.A never was there a happier hunter.And later that day, just for good measure, that hunter went out and killed that buck's doe.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 How big? He looks tiny for that size rack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) How big? He looks tiny for that size rack. About 160# and 2-3yrs'ol. Our Whitetails don't get big down here, and it's been a hard winter forage wise for them due to the drought in the Fall. 200-225# is a big deer down here.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ahh...We get them about 170-190# around that age. You'd think they'd all grow the same, but they don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
