  Got lucky Tuesday evening. Started off not looking good. Got off work later than expected and got down to evansville (from Bloomington a little late. Made all kinds of noise walking in and forgot to tie my gun off before climbing up the stand. After climbing down to tie gun off got busted by a doe while I was on the ground. Thought this hunt is ruined little did I know this old guy would be chasing a doe in right before sunset. He doesn't have the biggest rack on the property. It he is probably the biggest body deer out there and maybe the oldest. He came to within 15 yards right behind the doe. Dropped right in his tracks and I was lucky enough to complete my bundle with the doe as well. Will be a hunt I never forget and couldn't be happier with this buck. Can't wait to get him back from the taxidermist! Hard to tell in the picture but he maxed out the processors scale field dressed which went up to 225 pounds. Also neck measured in just over 30 inches around. Now it's time to really focus on getting the lady a deer! |

 Here is a picture of him from September looks like he is already swollen up. Any guesses on age? |

Good job! He'd have to be pretty old to have that big of a body. I bet the other bucks breathe a little easier now that the old bruiser is gone.

Very nice looking buck. I hope you took some better pictures of it in the woods. Unfortunately I did not get any better ones in the field my uncle tried to take a few when he helped me get him out and. Sick to the truck but the head lights were shining so bad it's hard to really see...good thing neither of us went to photography school! But my taxidermist took several pics he said he was going to post on his page with me in them when he does I will upload those! |

Looks like a vanderburgh county buck? Congratulations. Yes it was in vanderburgh county. A different property then we talked about last year though. I have stayed away from that place learned from last year just not enough land to collect a kill if not dropped. |
