I shot this nice 9 pointer at about 30 yards, he was broadside to me and trotting slowly - I busted him right in the neck and he dropped in his tracks. He dressed out at 205#. I dropped him off yesterday to have a shoulder mount done with him. This will be the first buck I have ever mounted.
My wife thinks I'm kinda funny cause all I do is stare at his picture. :-D

All I would be doing is staring to man. Thats a NICE buck, congrats. to you. I hope I get one that big someday. Great mount on anybodys wall.

Thanks Marylandeer!!!

I have been shotgun hunting for many many years and this is the first buck I have ever killed that was even close to being worthy of mounting. I'm sure it will happen to you too one of these days. It sure feels like it is never gonna happen though sometimes. I told my wife and my buddies that this was my year, I have been hunting too many years to not have deserved a buck like this.

Congratulations, that is one nice buck! Normally I would end this off with a "good luck", but it seems you don't really need it anymore. So instead, I'll just say take care!

Very nice! Congrats to you! The picture of the little one next to yours is hilarious. How much did the little one weigh just for comparison???

That's gonna be a great mount.......get a feather duster and keep it handy!

Thanks guys :grin:
He didn't have the little buck weighed so I don't know for sure but I would guess around 110#

Just hang your stand in the right spot and they will come,and just let some of the small bucks with potental walk sometimes.
Nice deer hope you get more.

Man thats a nice buck ,also got my first buck that was good enough to mount a 8 pt with 16 1/4 inside spread.

Great buck and at 30 yards Wow! Hey thought I would tell you a story. I have been married for 35 years and at first my wife was not that happy with my hunting. How ever an older gal got her aside at a wedding and told her that she thinks part of the reason their marriage was still going was because they each had their own hobby and time alone. The wife thought about that and decided my hunting was fine by her. I should buy that older lady a present , if she is still with us, she unknowingly had a big part in my happiness. Have a great off season getting tuned up for next year! Buckfever
