Since I can't shoot 'em, I might as well shoot 'em.  This is what we found today after driving around our neighborhood for about an hour.  more to come, I'll do it in a few posts

This 3x3 thought he was really tough running off this 2x2...little did he know there was a big boy hiding in the bushes.  After a little sizing up, the 3 point took off

the little spike cracked me up...he was happy to be within 100 yds of a doe.

This poor guy was absolutely dead tired...somebody wooped him.  His head was laying on the ground when we first saw him.  Thought he was dead.

50 yds from my house...

You have some very nice bucks down there! Always a great time of the year. Thanks for sharing.

2 of the 4x4 's I got pics of were almost identical...I had to drive back a half of a mile to make sure i wasn't looking at the same buck.  I wish I knew how to take pics and had a good camera.

Firearm restriction within city limits?...although, there is duck hunting allowed in certain areas.  I really don't know for sure.  If you find out, let me know.

nice. good pics. you need to go get a pic of the big boy over by my parents place with the 18 to 20 inch spike on one side

they seriously need to figure out a season for that area the deer are like a plague of rats...lol

I always see awesome bucks in open sores....and there was a busted up doe with a backwards leg who continued raising fawns each year

You can use your bow during rifle season if you have a rifle tag...just saying.
