But I'm thrilled! Killed this 3 1/2 year-old buck this morning. haven't scored him yet, but expect he will be just shy of 100 gross:



 
Thanks. Killed him at zero dark thirty. Just after making the shot, I checked my watch. Two minutes inside legal shooting time! I really didn't even know which buck I was shooting (of the photo-inventoried bucks--usually I know exactly which buck I'm shooting before I pull the trigger). In the low light, I just knew he had enough antler for me!

Congrats on your bow kill! :D

Oh by the way, a friend has a pic of an albino black panther! Want to see it? :grin:






Congrats on the buck! Being "Thrilled" is what its all about. :cool:
 
Congrats. Great deer!

I'm really not good at judging these by camera pictures yet. Thanks for sharing before and after pictures.

In your second pictures (the black/white one), I can tell he isn't a 2.5 or anything...... but looking only at the antlers I immediately thought "nope... 1 more year". His right side (left if you're looking at the picture) is deceiving in that picture.

Then I saw the picture after you killed him. Looks great! No way I would have passed on him.

I had pictures of the one I killed this weekend and at first wasn't sure if he was a shooter. After the kill, I was surprised how much bigger he seemed in person.


I know everybody asks you a lot on this site - but in all seriousness - thank you for all that you share. I know you can't give away all the secrets of the trade, but you certainly help some of us to not feel quite so dumb. :blush:

Congrats Bryan! DNB! So what did he score? I'm guessing about 100 give or take myself.

Haven't put a tape to him yet, but I'm guessing what you did, somewhere in the 95-100 range. If he had had more typical beam mass for a 3 1/2, he would break 100.

One of my nieces killed a very classic 3 1/2 year-old 8-point for our area. Grossed 108 with 4" bases.
