I had mine weighed at Big Oaks when I checked him and he was 183, but his neck was almost 24" around.

These are my 2 best mid 130s and mid 120s both with a bow, and I really like brow tines.

Well at about 630pm I saw this buck and a should have been 8pt half rack coming down the same trail that I had walked in on. I have a small window of opportunity from that direction when they make the corner. So I draw as he hits the 30 yard mark and then it happens. He stopped facing right at me and worked the scrape, licking branch, and urinated down both legs. I almost let the arrow fly when he stood up on his hind legs for the licking branch, but thought better of it. Now by the time that he turned enough for me to shoot. I had been holding for what felt like 5 minutes, but had been afraid to let down because he and half rack were facing right at me. I finally let the arrow go and heard an ugly sound. The big buck came toward my stand and ended up being 10 yards behind left under a tree that still has leaves. I got another arrow knocked and he stepped out from under that tree and I made a good shot and he ran off. Well the adventure wasn't over, because the arrow was lodged in the far shoulder there was no blood trail at all. We started a body search from the last spot that I had seen him running. It took about 2 hours of walking around in the woods for us to find him, but all is well that ends well. Oh yeah, he is also my best buck at about 136 with someone scoring that isn't sure about the stickers or if it is an extra beam or where the circumference measurements should be. That ugly sound that I heard was my arrow/broad head hitting the inside of his right main beam. I think that I clipped a limb that I couldn't see now with the leaves off of the trees. I thank the Lord for all that He does for me and my family. He had him walk to me and when I was not up to the task, He gave me an easier shot. Then He let me find him in the dark with no blood trail. I am truly blessed!

The buck that I killed last night came down a trail and worked a scrape. He did the whole number on this scrape. He did have a half rack following him, but he never did anything but smell the scrape, and the 4 pointer that came in 10 minutes later just smelled it also.
I can't let 140ish bucks walk where I hunt because they won't make it to next season. Besides my 136ish buck is my best to date.

I didn't get a pass through on the buck I shot last night. The arrow went through both lungs and stuck in the far shoulder. I could see him running for about 150 yards. We never found any blood until right around the body, but couldn't even back track him to see where he came from to get there. When I opened him up he was absolutely full of blood. He had to have drown.
Did you talk to the people in the office? They say that they will let you back in tomorrow if you have one down, but I don't know about to track one that you haven't found.

Well I shot a good buck this evening and had good blood for 50 or so yards, then it just stopped. We did find a few drops about 60 to 70 yards later, but that was it. I called Mr. Zoll but he is over 2 hours away and was going to cost me $300. so I don't think that is in the cards. I was hoping to catch boonehunter online, but no such luck.

If I remember right you are drawn for 11/17 & 18. If that is true and you want to partner up for the 4,5,10-11 hunts I will be available and live about 15 minutes from the gate.
