Here are a few more pics I found.

My Dad shot this one in the mid 80's. It was wide 3 point that field dressed over 220.



A little 4 pt that I shot when helping another friend track a wouned 3 pt. This was also in the late 80's.



This one is also from the late 80's. I shot a 5x5 one day after school and two days later my Dad got a good 4x4.



There is a pretty good story for the 5x5 that I will post at another time.

Nice bucks!
 My buddy has a newspaper article of a buck his grampa killed out at Hawks Prarie in the 50s. It made the front page, it was a 24" 4x4 and wieghed 225#. I know the genes for some big ones are out there.

There used to be a small private game farm out there. Some of the biggest bucks I have ever seen were near the cheese factory and dump. Some of the areas we killed deer on are now houses and road. What a shame.

The buck on the right in the bottom pic was from Hawks Prarie.

I wasn't going to bring that up b/c a lot of people don't believe it. From what I have heard the guy had mule deer and they bred into the blacktail gene pool. I have seen some monsters out at Hawks Prarie and Johnsons Point. I live in South Bay now and we have a few good bucks around here. Not many people have heard of that game farm.

The way I heard it he had both Mulies and Whitetails. Years ago I found an old shed out there that had two main beams from the same base. 20 years before that my father's friend shot a 4 pt that had two main beams with 2pts each from the same base.
