First time tagging out!

[Handsome Rob]

Never done it before, but this year I actually limited out on bucks!

 

The first (pics 3 & 4) is the heaviest deer I've ever killed. I butchered him & scaled 91½lb of cleaned, trimmed meat!

 

The second (first 2 pics) is by far and away the best buck I've ever had a shot at. I had him under 30yds & around me for over 30 minutes (left my damn glasses in the truck...) before I figured out he was better than the average 6 point I thought he was!

 

I'm hoping to get one more doe, just as meat insurance & to justify the new freezer I bought yesterday.....

Nice, congrats! Only seen one buck on my property that nice, but that was years ago, sure he's gone by now.  Most this year have been smaller racked ones, 6 or more points but small based.

Very nice, congratulations! I have yet to kill anything but time. I made up my mind way before season that I wouldn’t take a buck unless it was bigger than last years. Hard to do, trust me, but I’ve stuck to it. Very happy for your harvests!

Well I don't know how big the one was you got last year and I hope you reach your goal. My goal has been alot different. I would guess I have probably killed 100+ deer over my lifetime and as long as it was legal to shoot it went in the freezer and I never put a mount on my wall even though over the years I have taken about four 12 pointers and two 14 pointers back years ago while I lived on my Grandfathers Farm/Ranch. I think I can probably find the racks. I think they are down stored in one of my sons buildings. I always thought one day I would make something out of them but the years have slipped by to fast I guess.

My Grand father told me if I was hunting for Antlers I need to go to Alaska. If I am looking for meat for the freezer take 4 points or less and let the big ones walk and that is what I have done since he told me that. If I had a 4 point and a spike come along together I would take the spike. I have 1 small buck in the freezer right now and I'm hoping for a couple does for it now. My son and Grandson said they could probably get me 1 more doe. They said those poachers screwed up their season this year.

This is my mantra even though I've only shot one deer.  My father-in-law explained to me that the better meat was on the smaller ones so I've always thought along those lines.  Poachers suck.  I think I've got some on my property.  Hoping to catch them on the cameras and let the game warden get started.  

Nice bucks OP.
