I've let a handful of bigger bucks walk on private property this year, but something about rubbing
elbows with the orange army on public makes it that much more fun.
Congratulations on a beauty!

Finally got a mature buck yesterday morning. I've only had 4 encounters with mature bucks prior to this one. Missed 2. Didn't have an opportunity at the other 2.
This fellow was chasing a doe 60 yards out. Like many of us, that chase was his downfall. No camera history or previous sightings on our lease prior to this. Hit him in the left shoulder and out the right lung. Heart shot. No blood! He ran about 50 yards into a thicket and piled up.
200 pounds live weight.
Please post your 2023 kill pics here. Already seeing some velvet deer roll in.
@Blackbeard Can you please unsticky the 2022 kill thread and sticky this one to the top? Or leave the 2022 and sticky this one with it. Thanks.
The giraffe is awesomeMy dream. I realize a lot of folks care nothing about it, but I'd love to go on safari like this.
Good gracious what a wide buck! Congrats! That's an old bruiser too!Opening day muzzleloader
One of the largest bodied deer I have killed in Tennessee.Good gracious what a wide buck! Congrats! That's an old bruiser too!

Bonus buck indeed! Congrats!!

This guy finally daylighted yesterday morning at 8:20. TWRA was at the processor and aged him at 4.5yo.
More affordable than an elk hunt. I am blessed to go 2-3 times a year.My dream. I realize a lot of folks care nothing about it, but I'd love to go on safari like this.
