well title says it all. I snapped some pics of a few doosies. the bummer is that the biggest one was 1/2 mile away so I was pretty handicapped on zoom. sorry about the poor quality, I took the first pic off the hood at about 1000 yards, thank god for good light!

big buck...is he a 3x4?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Looks like a whopper three.  Thanks for getting the pics on here.  Bust any coyotes out there, or strictly after pheasants.

He is a Whopper. Looks to be a 3 Point. A Monster 3 with 17" Tines will only Score 150!!! Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder!!! I'd drop him!!! Good Luck

Yep, I'd drop the hammer or release the string on him.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

both of the big dudes were 4x frames with a little trash on em' I should have snapped a pic through my spotter, but we were fighting over the right to stare.

as for bustin' coyotes, I only spotted two....one lived.
