I've HAD two close encounters w/ mature Bucks and also a Bear - no connection YET!
Anyways...
1st score; an old buddy I helped setup years back in the bottle neck. This is his second good deer out of this stand along w/ some smaller deer over the last 3-years.
199lb 8-pointer, measures in the 115-120" range, likely a 3.5 yr old deer...
My best friends 136lb Doe along side his younger brothers 100 pounder making this a real nice double!
Our meat pole from the big woods. Both the bucks shown hear are a respected size for a 3.5 year old making NH a not so great Trophy region.
I should have one on the pole that was 189lb and a wide 9-pointer w/ 20" width but short tines (I pushed it to the guy on the ridge when my rifle was sitting on my shoulder via gun sling - OUCH!
)
The little one is a BB and the 9-pointer weighed in @ 182lb (3.5 year old)
The oldest brother tagged the Northwood's buck, happens to be the largest taken out of our camp to date...!
