Shot this buck on the morning of Oct 2nd. I was working 3rd shift and got home right at first light and decided to sneak in to my stand. When I got to about 50yds from my tree I saw this buck walking directly underneath it. Over the course of the next 10minutes of so we both slowly worked towads each other until I finally got an open shot at 35yds broadside. He went appx 20yds after the shot.  |

Nice job 3pt! Totally different ballgame when you are on the ground stalking them! Way to go!

Nice buck!  Reminds me a lot of my buck from '97. Just curious- have you taped it yet? I pulled the tape on mine and came up with ~110" gross. Yours looks to be slightly longer tined, so I'd guess around 115"? Not sure if I measured mine correctly or not though, so I could be off on my guess by a little (or a lot!). |

DanF- I think mine will only only go 105" or so actually-maybe 110 if hes lucky. The picture makes him look a little bigger than he is. He measued 15" inside with the longest tine being only 6" or so.
truth be told, i should not have shot this buck. he is the smallest buck(in indiana) ive shot in 3-4years but i got a little caught up in the moment. since him i have had 5 good bucks -125-140"-in range
including a 130" 8pt that I have had 2 shots at in gun season. One of those shots was yesterday evening when i happened to walk within 30yds of him bedding down facing away from me... this year has definately been a learning experience for me....

I don't remember all of the measurements on mine, but it's somewhere in the 17-18" inside spread range, and the longest tines were ~5-6". It had *great* spread, but not a lot of tine length. Yours is a nice buck, and I certainly wouldn't be unhappy with an arrow through him! Got mine with a shotgun, and he was the biggest buck I'd seen in our woods at that time. |
