Hunting & Fishing Not a pig but he'll do.

[CoCaDoRi]

Cold windy and took him in the last hour today. Watched and waited on 1 other monster who managed to sneak off way out of range.

This is sort of a milestone for me. This is the first buck I have personally harvested in over 12 years. Although, I have guided for many. For me he's my personal best whitetail.

He's mine and after the past few years of my life he's a trophy in many ways.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic i asked my ranch hand to hurry and meet me for a pic before the light diminished.

In my humble opinion, all whitetail bucks are trophies...and usually DAMN good eating too! Congrats on filling your tag- we just cut mine up yesterday after hanging him for about a week.

That's impossible. Match projectiles won't kill an animal....

Pat, I be you do! See you don't need a GAP .260.. you just need a GAP

Now if only I could find the right guy at the "CA" to let me hunt some of the river property......

Congrats, that is the great reward associated with hunting. Every man satisfies his inner self. And his trophy belongs to no other but him!
