Last year I about cut my leg off with a chainsaw and happily took one of the smaller bucks we had coming in.

This year, despite plenty of chainsaw use, I remained healthy and hunted this guy for 3 days before getting the conditions good enough for a shot

[coachcw]

come on . tell us more

[jackmaster]

i remember the thread about you doggn into your leg now that you mention it, if i remember right you posted some pictures of you sawed up leg.... well lets see the pic of that buck, we have waited long enough

[gaddy]

yes, please do tell more. the conditions were good enough for a shot but was the shot good enough for a hit ?

[Steve Jo]

I finally got an opportunity at him on day 3 after passing several good bucks.

If I live to be 100 years old I doubt I will make a better shot.  42 yards through the limbs of several trees.

He is my best buck to date.

Thanks guys, it's quite a story, but I have an 11 month old booger eater running around and he will NOT let me type... LOL

[jackmaster]

damn that is a hell of a buck and with a bow to boot, congrats you really earned that stud for sure

[mdbuck5x5]

  Great buck...I definitely know what you're feeling 

[elkhuntindad]

[vandeman17]

Fantastic buck! So nice

[Steve Jo]

Thanks!  I fell in love with his mass. 5 1/2 bases and he carries 4" all the way out on both sides.  very heavy buck, at least in my experience

Great buck, congrats

Sweet buck! Nice eyeguards! 

[Steve Jo]

Thanks Jager, those eye guards are off the hook, he scores 96 as a pronghorn...
