I used to live down near Fort Casey and saw lots of deer.   I never saw one like that!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just go out and kill it tomorrow as some suggest?  (What's wrong with you anyway)  :chuckle:

115-122"
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

106-114, I would shoot him in a heartbeat.
Now that you posted the front view I am thinking more like 115-120.
Really nice deer especially for the island.
Shoot him if you can.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Trying, but can get him to appear during the day.
Looks like you need to be hunting the end of the day.  Good luck,

  • How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

That's why he is still alive, the big boys don't like the daylight hours. :chuckle:

Bingo!
