LOL Everybody is waiting for the "right" deer. For some it's biggest antlers, for some it's biggest body, for some it's the best eating and for some it's first one close enough, dumb enough and long enough 
Bushrat just hasn’t found the "right" one yet

I been up to the plate for the last 16 years without squeezing the trigger, patiently waiting for that gnarly monster that makes it worth getting my hands bloody. I have phobia about getting blood on my hands

That deer has some real good Genetics and could have been a hog. Nice job Dick and great write up! Hope the kids enjoy another good year as well.

Nice job Dick. Enjoyed the play by play. Makes me want to take my Grandfather's 760 pump out for my week long foray next week...

I had to take some immediate action to keep Rugersingle from shooting this buck. He kept going on about how it's a monster

Im surprised he is still around, he was a totally obnoxious twit last night when the ladies were about. Watched one cranky old doe give him a good clip with her hoof.

Awesome Dave. Was kinda hopin you wouldn't shoot anything yet cause Dick might decide to come home and use his blind here. To tell you the truth I been getting pretty comfortable in that blind ever since, it's like a second home now, thinking of calling squatters rights on it. Every day I see deer and they keep getting bigger, pretty sure a crankers gonna show any day now. By the way bring propane, its getting kinda low....
