huntergene, we would like to see more pictures, welcome to the HSOforum, its a great place to spend some time. There are few different ways to download pics to the HSOforum. Do a search on this sight for downloading pics and you will get step by step instructions. The main thing is that you have to upload your photos to a photo sharing sight like Photobucket. Then when you post an image, put the link for the picture from the photobucket HSOforum. Good luck, great buck.

Very nice photo. No blood, no incision showing where you gutted the deer and the tounge is not hanging out. I love the picture the way it is posed and the scene is set. Is the bow you were using a Legacy?

Almost forgot, very nice deer.

Very nice buck! My dad and I have also been applying QDM in our area the past few years. It DOES make a difference. We are starting to see a number of good bucks instead of the one or two we used to see. Now if we can convince the neighbors to go along with that plan we'll have a nice population of nice bucks around in a couple years.

Yes Great deer!! I think that he is shooting a XT

Awesome Buck Knute! Also a great story and lesson on QDM. I grew up in Hokah (just east of Houston) and that is where I still hunt. I'd love to pick your brain on what types of things you've done with the property. My buds and I are starting to really focus on that ourselves. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd be interrested in sharing some of your Land Management strategies.

Thanks!

That is a super deer, and you did fantastic job on the pics, that is without a doubt one of the best set of pics Ive seen on this site- congrats

Nice Buck Knute!!!!!!!!!!

[Knute78]

Well thanks guys! I appreciate all the nice comments. One of my buddies who has shot decent deer in the past told me to work hard on the pics and take plently of them for memories. He regreted not taking the time to "set up" the shots, clean up the deer, and pose his deer. He said his pics didn't turn out well at all and wishes he had more photos. We had to work pretty quick though...if you recall it was hot as Heck on Friday evening!

Nobody got the bow right though! It's the Drenalin...I shot the XT last year and loved it but since I have a few buds at Archery Country in St.Cloud...I upgrade each year now if the $$$ is there. I will always stick with Mathews now...I have a good back the truck over the bow story! Pretty much got a new bow at no charge in Sparta...I cannot say enough about Mathews!

Thanks again guys!

Do you work with Jake or Vic @ Archery Country. They are one great father son team.

[GoggleEye]

Knute, great deer! One more tine on the right side and that deer would be flawless! Nice big heavy deer too, what did that brute weigh in at?

[Knute78]

I work with Jake and Brandon. Brandon is my bosses cousin. I cannot say enough about those guys...very knowledgeable guys.

The deer hit the scale at 200lbs field dressed on the locker scale...so maybe 250-70 lbs I'd guess. I think they say the live weight is about 30-40% more than the dressed.

[Hotspotter]

What a trophy Knute. Good work on putting in the time to do the dirty work as well, and passing on the smaller bucks. You've got what sounds like a fairly rare situation in being able to restrict the hunting ground to bow-only, and I think it's paying off.

Deer #1 for the 2007 season. Watched this deer for almost 15 minutes as she was working her way towards me. I thought I was going to have to shoot her at about 40 yards, but to my surprise, she turned and started walking right at me. Shot her at about 20 yards. Not exactly the shot placement I wanted, but she only made it about 40 yards even with a shot that was a bit back. I think I fired a bit quick after waiting so long for her to come in. Gotta remember on the next one to take more time with the shot placement...

[harvey lee]

Congrats, now on to the next one.

[Hotspotter]

Good work on the doe! Now we're sittin' pretty for the heart of the rut to come along.

My 2007 buck, not my biggest but it will do. Field dressed at 183 lbs. with an 18 inch inside spread. He has nice brow tines. I wish the G2's and G3's were more in line with the brow tines.

That's a great deer! Congrats!

[Tippman]

Nice buck. I'm starting to get jealous. Having a hard time getting in the stand this year between work, duck hunting, grouse hunting, muskie fishing, and now pheasant hunting. Soon it'll be time to hit the woods hard though

[archerystud]

Deer movement has really picked up with the cooler weather. I saw at least 2 other bucks come out with this one. This one kicked the other two around. Another deer came out from the North but I couldn't tell what it was. It may have been another buck coming in to the sparring that was going on. This one was at 18 yards and looked good enough to me.

How about moose? I know it's not archery, but it would fall under SHOOTING.

Not a "trophy" bull, but for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt, it's a trophy to me!

[maros91]

Awesome Moose!! Congrats!

Here is a "unique" buck, as Kirk calls it.

Kirk is a member in our bass club, and managed to tag this buck yesterday with his long bow and homemade cedar arrows.

[The Donk]

Funny looking deer! Looks like me after waking up and my hair matted down on one side of my head!
