Congrats to all the successful stories of today. I’m tagged out and my wife will kill me if I bring home any more meat. Going to go tomorrow and check cams for the heck of it and start focusing on turkeys.

Congrats to your son jwalker, that’s a mighty fine buck!

Me and my boy have tried really hard this season to let the young ones go and wait on a big mature deer. I started getting pics of what I thought was a "good deer" last sunday. He was in and out of our food plot several times in two days. I showed his picture to some people, they agreed he was mature and big. I killed him tuesday. He was 158lb and estimated by jawbone looking at chart ti be 2yr old(i really think he was 3yo, chart seems to run a year behind here). I was pretty disappointed because I was trying pretty hard and had failed because of misjudgement. Pretty good buck still but not what I was after. Joseph has passed several bucks this year as big as anything he has killed. After alot of thought I told my boy thurs evening that I was proud of his restraint and having tried to do the right thing with me but having only two more days he could hunt this season, if he saw a buck he liked and wanted to kill, go ahead it was his choice. The one he saw next was the biggest racked buck he had saw all year, not a giant by any means, but a fine bick for a 12yo who got up early on his own and set out to kill a deer. This one weighed 132lb. Again not what we wanted exactly but it was his biggest racked buck ever and his season is ending on a good note instead of disappointment.

This is the buck I killed tuesday. Looks like a good one. Turned out to be a little small and young. You cant always believe what the pictures are telling you.

Congratulations to Killers
