Late season success
« on: December 08, 2008, 12:58:10 PM »
Hi All, Just wanted to share a picture of my buck I got during late archery season.  I had seen him a couple of times earlier in the year when he was still in velvet.  I didn't see him during the early season & hoped that he made it through rifle season.  Thanks to the rut he followed two does right passed me. First buck I've taken on my property. 20 yard shot.  He measured 17.5" outside spread and his fronts are kind of shaped like a set of crab claws.
