A shame

A couple of friends have been hunting a big old boy in northern New Jerseysince opening day of bow season. The hunt is over as the 10 point 203 pounder has been reduced to a road kill. I'm trying to get a picture of the beast. I don't know the condition of the car involved. I'm sure the buck left an impression or two.

The freshest tracks still have feet in them.

Thats a terrible way to lose a trophy.

Suxxxxxx!

Love playing that string music and sending a Muzzy flying!

That sort of reminds me of a big 160-inchish buck I was hunting in north Missouri.  I was hunting a lush soybean field and walked past a tree stand that was hanging in the northwest corner of the field to get to another stand that I was planning to hunt that afternoon.  Low and behold, the big buck came out with a doe directly UNDER the stand in the northwest corner and stood there for over 20 minutes, offering shot after shot after shot from the corner stand.  I was reduced to a helpless spectator that afternoon and I never laid eyes on the buck again.  Had I chosen the corner stand that afternoon I would have had a slam dunk 10-yard shot at the big boy. 

Here's a pic of that buck...  He still haunts my nightmares!!!!
