Nice buck and like that back drop in the picture.  Looks like he has a sore throat.

Wow, nice buck, I think I saw that buck earlier this summer, since I know where that last picture was taken.... looks like we hunt some of the same country.. can not wait till Modern Rifle!!!!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Nice buck, sometimes it's good to be lucky (no disrespect)..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Nice buck!  Did you cut the throat on him?  Not needed...just so you know.  He bled out pretty well with your broadhead.  :dunno:
