And lets see all your kills too Stonegod, maybe the guy deserves bullying ? I'll put mine right here(none)
Stonegod last year he posted the picks of the deer. He had a ton of snow in the picture as well if I recall correctly.

oh and my dog died 11/10/11, a date I recall very well, and if you look back on this site I am sure there is a post about it
I have been a menebr on this site a long time, and posted many many posts about my hunts and kills over the yrs too! before you try barking, maybe do a little looking
as your the one that seems to like to make waves talking big and all, at most posts
my hunting record speaks for it self, rather well, and I try to give good advice when I can, but can also, stand up and speak loud if the replys require it IMO
yes I have tons of pictures of the buck I last killed on trail cam's (maybe like 500-600 pic's of him)and even a day or so before I killed him, haven't really shot a deer where I hunt in yrs that I didn't have pictures of it to be honest, rather rare for me not to have pic's of every buck I see there, but one or two every yr maybe!
But here you go Stonegod, just in case you think I am not telling the truth, and feel free to take a drive up here and measure the rack if you like, its on the wall next to me, mounted(do I need to show you a pic of that too ?? lol)
and again, had this deer not been wounded, I would have left it walk, as I did many many times last yr, I only shot it cause I didn't know if its wounds would only kill it or make it suffer, so ended that guessing game by killing it, I've also passed on deer this size this yr as well, but they were healthy, I have higher standards than others I am sure, but overall, lack of desire to kill them anymore adds to that, making passing a little easier I guess!
here he is alive
and then dead
and in the back of my truck!

and one more, as for me not owning this farm, your right, but I do manage it to a point
thus my DRAMA< maybe as you call it, about loosing the timber, don't mind timber harvesting, been pushing for it here for yrs and yrs, just not on this level
the biggest draw back here is, this farm, was un able to be seen from any roads, only way to see it was on google earth, or trespassing
BUT now with such severe timber cutting, it will now be seen from the road that drives past it
as it was, un seenable from the road, and I had such terrible tresspassing issue's this new found being able to be seen from the road, will be a major issue with even more folks trespassing
the super high numbers of deer in this area, will limit what re growth will happen, the cut like they are doing is very heavy, and IMO< going too small on what there leaving, and after yrs of NO timbering, there are very very few young tree's, so this is a too severe cut, and not a good call on the managment, but like you said, not my land, not my call, doesn't mean I have to like it however!
about 2 miles away, they did a cut like this, and its been 10+ yrs now and its JUST starting to come back now, due so many mounths to feed, eating the new growth as it starts to grow
other wise I strongly believe timbering is a great thing
just here is not so great for above reasons, and not going to be a great property to hunt anymore due to it all
the fustration isn';t worth it anymore
and my desire to go else where , isn't there
I have nothing against hunting, I just don't find it fun like I once did, thus my reason for calling it quits I think!

While you are digging up pictures pull the ones up from your last trip out to South Dakota those were pretty cool. Well except the ones where you mad a deer a hood ornament.

I don't understand why you have to call him out? He's just expressing his feelings about something he put alot of work into. Maybe in time his desire to hunt will return. But if he killed a deer lately or not has little to do with it. Maybe I'm taking the question the wrong way. But why beat him up when things are not going good for him. I'm going to take him for his word, I don't need to see a pic. If I'm wrong here Stonegod, let me know.

what goes around, comes around. (I sure do hope so)!!
well here you go nomad
some SD pic's and others too
here is my 2010 PA buck(2011 was the firsst yr since I started that I didn't kill a deer too, managed to fill my tags every yr since I started hunting, only tags I ever ate were when I got picky , or just didn't want to )
My 2010 Ohio buck
and a few pic's from my last trip out to SD in 2009
My buck is the one on the left, my buddy shot the one on the right, he miss judged on its size LOl
and I'll even add the one that I hit with the truck
the damage of hitting it at 75 mph no brakes, sucker just jumped out no time to do nothing but hit it!
decided while waiting for over 2 hrs on the side of the road to take its head(got a permit from state trooper that I called,
sorry if this is a little graphic for some, but were all hunters so blood should scare anyone! I hope
and then I got it mounted, and used the mopar ram on the pedestal too
also, if anyone wants info ona super hunt in SD, I am willing to give the info too
its about one of the best priced rifle rut hunts in the usa that I know of, and its for an either whitetail or mule deer buck, and can be hunted in the rut, can be semi guide(what I did) or fully guided
I had the guide for just 2 days, to show me where I could hunt, killed me and my buddy killed both our bucks on the third day, without the guide
we were seening 10-20 bucks a day, a solid mix of whitetails and mule deer too, like 50/50 of each in same area too, was extra nice to have a tag for either one, had one or the other showed I wanted, not an option in most places too!
Hovever most bucks were too far away even for a rifle, very open out there, and never have enough gun, can see for miles, not kidding at all, but seen many nice bucks, in range too, a great hunt, and a great value for all that was there
can add a pronghorn to the hunt, or upland game, tons of pheasants, and coyotes
and if lucky to draw a state tag, can even add a second buck to the trip if you plan it right
can be rifle or bow too!
Just pm me, if you have any interest!
Mrbb thanks for the pictures. I didnt realize it was that long ago that you where out in SD. Still great pictures. Maybe one day I will make it out there but it isnt in the cards at this time.
