Congratulations. I would want him on the wall also!

its funny, cause on the same farm we took this 12 a 8 and a 6 on the same day within 500 yrds apart from each other

i dont think ill be getting anthing better from the farm for a few years lol.cant eat the horns tho i guess.

Nice! Someday I'm going to get something bigger than a squirrel or a coyote (although I must admit, shooting coyotes with a .41mag is darn fun. They bounce). With my luck I can put cameras up and see deer all over the place up until the week before the season starts then I show up and poof, nothing to shoot. The first week when it's antlered only I only see doe, the second week when it's anything goes I see nothing but squirrels. se la vie.
Congrats on an awesome deer. Hope you got some tasty jerky out of it!

most definitly, i got that gun for 220$ its a model 76 sportman made from 1976-1985 so its an old gun but it shoots like a dream, id never get rid of it. it was the cheaper version og the later produced 760 and 7600 model.

Man I wish they would limit bucks here. If I had a say you would have to kill a doe and only then can you kill a buck. I too love the 30-06 I have an old rem. 700 that has never let me down. Last buck it killed was only a 9 point but the G2's were 10.5' and 11' and the inner spread was right at 19" so not to bad I will see if I can get a picture of it.

The green chair is just there to give an idea of the width. This was the last day of rifle season. I had set up in a new spot that I was scouting for the second part of bow season. After a couple hours of watching he came up out of a creek bottom about 10 yards behind me. Well my trigger finger wouldn't let me wait for bow season to make this kill

Good on you Deerhunter, great rack !!! Now for the 14 pointer !!

yea that might take a while lol. Thats a nice rack sbrouwers i would have shot it too, but you know the saying , you cant eat the horns, but heay when you spot something nice comign thru the woods that saying goes out the window,

as far as deer managment if i had my way deer season would be closed for 2 years and then buck only for 3 or so becuase we have few deer in the area, what we do have are big but we need to give them a rest so we can get more, But pa game commision wants rid of them and no matter how (overpopulated) they say they are i dont buy it, most of the hunters i talked to said they dident even see a deer all season.
