We put him in a sled and a few of us got him out that way. The bait site wasn't to far from the logging road.

Harvested my biggest bear last week in Maine. Was able to trap him with a snare and take him with my TC Contender 30-30 pistol. The boar weighed 333lbs.

Little back story on this buck. I took over this lease 5 years ago. I remember putting cameras out for the first time during the spring of 2017. A time when you would think bucks have shed their antlers. But to my surprise I get this buck on camera. He was a wide 6 pointer then but still in velvet. I thought that was really weird. All year long I had pictures of him and he was always in velvet. As time when on I realized this guy never once shed his antlers nor his velvet. I had thought he might have been a doe or something happened to him. After about the 3rd year I knew I wanted to shoot this deer and solve the mystery. I had talked to others that hunt around me and they had this buck in camera a few years prior to me taking over this lease. I had hunted this deer for 2 of the 5 years I've had the lease but by the time hunting season came he disappeared. Fast forward to this velvet season. I was hunting one of my favorite stands and had several bucks show up. Had a really big 8 come in and I was about to pull the trigger on my crossbow when I seen "helmet head" walk in. I knew right away what buck I was going to shoot. I flung a bolt his way and made a great shot. He ran around 100 yards with an easy blood trail. I was amazed how crazy his antlers had become over the 5 years. He went from a really nice wide 6 to something weird, unique and even ugly looking. He just kept breaking off and things grew weird. When I rolled him over to gut him I had noticed he had the hose but not the nuts. The poor guy never grew them out. That explains why he was always in velvet and never shed. Was a bittersweet end to "helmet head". I know hes crazy and ugly looking but what a great challenge to hunt him and finally get my hands on him. He will do justice on my wall in the trophy room. We estimated the buck to be 8 plus years given the history with him in the area.

148 yard shot. Hunting over cut corn field. Only buck I seen that morning. Was using my Browning BAR 30-06. Shooting Winchester Deer Season xp 150 grain. That Belgium BAR was my step dads and he bought it brand new in the 80's. Shot my first deer with it when I was 12. Im now 45 and its still a shooter.

No draw system. We have plenty of game to hunt. Majority of the people here Deer and turkey hunt. We do have some good waterfowl hunting in the Western part of the State. Licenses and tags are over the counter here.

Knocked off another State. Just got back from Kansas and Oklahoma. Oklahoma the weather was just brutal. Rained and stormed every day we was there. Kansas however was great. Dad and I both tagged birds. So far I've harvested turkeys in TN (of course), Texas, Michigan, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Florida and now Kansas.

He just turned 6 in February. We practiced for several months.

Definitely try out the Foxtrot. 9.5x10 383 Strokers are awesome. The Legend loads are great too. The legend loads have a full ounce. I like the 9.5x10 in both the strokers and legends. Paired with a IC .390 choke its lights out.

I completed a grand slam with a Stevens .410 My set up is Indian Creek .390 with Foxtrot ammo 383 Strokers. I use the 9.5x10 blend. That setup will get you 180's to 200 in 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Great tom with a thick ol beard!!!!
