We were able to get two good bucks on the ground.  A 9 and a 10 pointer.  Both of them had some pretty unique charectiristics.  Stay tuned to our harvested section of our gallery page for pics of these bucks.

A great hunter made a quick shot and dropped a nice deer in the 130 inch range.  Steve was sitting in a buddy stand on the south side of the farm overlooking three bean fields and a hot scrape.   He said the deer sprinted out of the woods and came to a sudden stop in front of the fence.   He saw the nice antlers for only a few short moments and the deer presented a shot at the lungs through a small opening of the brush along the fence line.   Steve shot at the buck and dropped him right where it was standing.  The 25.06 and his steady aim did the job at 65 yards.  When he called me to tell me that he had shot this deer, he was wondering why the deer had ran out of the woods like it did.   I had to tell him that there was probably a bigger buck that chased him out.   He did not want to hear that, at all.   But, in my mind that is the only thing that would of scared him out like that.   Steve would like to think otherwise.
