Yeah that buck looks like a brute, I only met Jim briefly a couple of times once hunting Zoar estates on the corner of Zoar and rt 30 and once hunting state park lands. I think Jim Billings sent me the picture if you know him... But yeah, we should definately keep in touch. It's always cool to meet other local hunters and shoot the shit. Let me know about those cookouts!
I can send it to your email if you want but I don't your address. I didn't kill it in the field but I did hunt there a few times, including opening morning with no luck. It seems that the deer magically new opening morning not to come near that field. I only saw one small deer that morning well before shooting time ( I was there @ 3:30)and was very suprised that I didn't see more since there were tons in those fields every morning and night before the season.
LOL, don't worry, I'm addicted to this already. I still need to get more pictures posted. I'm just never home at my own computer to do it. Where do you hunt? I'm from above the canal and hunt mostly private land where I can control things, but I may try to hunt some public land this year.
I shot the ten ptr in my profile pic there in early September, there was still a little velvet around his bases. Do you have a picture phone? If so I can send the picture of reddon buck to you, just give me your number, if not I can send it to your email.
If you live in Ellendale my real estate signs (exit realty)littered both sides of 16 for some time. I think I only have one home left for sale there now. Also, you have seen me on saltfish. I do hunt he same lands as you in the state park. What do you know of as far as nice bucks that have been taken out of there in the last couple years?
I figured you must hunt redden also, but I never have. I know of a guy who shot a monster out of there this year with a pistol. I think it had 14 pts, but the mass was unreal. I have a picture on my cell phone that I can send you if you don't know of the deer I am speaking of.
