Thanks Bango for the inspiration! That is a very nice buck and yes we have some serious whitetails in this state if you know how to find them. Im glad to hear things are picking up that well right now as I didn't have much rutting action when I was hunting. Sad I can't get back up there. I know the tag holder has no problem holding out what so ever as he already has a 25" wide 170" whitetail on his wall. Im sure he wants to top it if he can. The two big ones we have at our stands is a 6x6 and 7x7. They are very neat bucks and I hope he gets at least one of them.

Yes he is hunting with his bow. If there happened to be a case where it was a once in a lifetime buck in open country that he couldn't get the job done with the bow he might use his 6.5mm Remington XP100 hand gun. I really doubt it will come to that though but you never know.

and though I have seen some world record class whitetail in this state, I cant say they have hung around long enough for me to get a photo, let alone get an arrow in, so maybe thats why I usually shoot 140-150 whities.

I hear ya, I would be perfectly fine taking 140-150 bucks myself. Yeah we do have some world record class bucks as you said and I'm hoping we can find one. That buck in the photo is beautiful. He is about an inch wider than the one I almost took earlier in the week.

Update. Still no success as of yet. The tag holder went home for a few days for some rest. I know some moose moved in hard some of his spots and a bear is showing up at one rolling around in the alfalfa haha. Guess he is not ready for the sleep yet. One of the big bucks left but one is still around but to date has not shown himself in the daylight. We hunted this buck last year and I think he only showed himself one time in the daylight the whole time we hunted him. Hopefully some things change for him when he goes back up.

keep at it, I'd love this tag although I'm sure I'd fill it with a buck many wouldn't consider worthy, lol...

I ate the tag, missed a good one, rattled in a small one, saw some shooters on land I couldn’t hunt and saw a bunch of smaller bucks that I didn’t want to shoot.  Funtime though for sure.
