Last Thursday

[JLC]

Last Thursday I never hunted, so instead I grabbed the camera and took a ride.

the bucks were with the does.

this doe was near the road

this buck wouldn't leave her side

he has been doing some fighting

around the corner was this buck with a doe. I bet no other bucks messed with him.

down the road was this buck in the field with a doe.

after it got dark I caught this buck laying near the road with a doe.

THE END !!!

Ok, question for the troops. Do you shoot the second deer to cull him from the herd or do you leave him with the idea that his right side got hurt and next year he will have a right side that matches the left? Just curious.

I always enjoy the quality of your photos. I am particularly fond of that goofy half-rack. I agree, I bet not many deer mess with him...he is a beast.

the half racked 8.

he will never change.

2 years ago Rick was in the blind with me to tape when he came by. he was about 10 yds away when I was coming to full draw.

Rick leaned forward to catch more in his video when his knee tapped the floor. The deer almost turned inside out getting the heck out of Dodge !!

Rick looked at me and said "OOPS"

In a way I was glad I didn't get the shot because he would of been around a 150 class 8 if the other side matched. The side that was missing had a main beam about 3-5" long. it looked like it was broken off.

Last year I saw him again in the field south of the farm I hunt. his rack and body was allot bigger but only one side again.

And you can see how he looks this year.
