Awesome never been on guided hunt

These were other guided hunts. Me and three more guys bought some property and hunted it three years and sold it.

 

[Deepsouth]

This is the other one I killed off that place.

 

[skyhightree1]

Is your horseshoe permanently installed?

Todd, they are great. Whitetail deer of that size are difficult to come by. As you notice I don't have a whitetail. I killed a nice 8 pointer. I gave the rack to my brother who was going to mount it at some point. That was in the 1970s. I have no idea what happened as that was about the time I went west.

In terms of ranking, that Blue Wildebeest that I have on the wall is my highest ranking trophy. It was a qualifier for Rowland and Ward but I did not do an entry and never became a member.

When I consider my trophies at this point in my life, I find they do not come close to representing the experience that one has in the hunt, the people, the land, and the drama associated with the total hunt. That trophy is in our head but even that trophy is ephemeral.

I just posted a rack picture on ranchers but my computer keeps crashing before I can get it here....it's from Big Bend area of Mexico.

All the mammals are bow kills. I have no gun kills mounted.

My best 8 pt. He scored 154" P&Y


This big nine pt was a huge bodied deer weighing 243lbs field dressed. He scored just over 140"


This 10 pt was just shy of P&Y. I should have passed on him as he was only a 2.5 yr old but the low light conditions fooled me even at 20 yards. Still a nice deer.


Old, heavy West Virginia buck. It was a pain to get this old boy off of that mountain :shock:


42" Northern Pike that I caught in NW Ontario on a light rig with 8lb test line.


East Tennessee bow killed hog. Steep country.....lots of work to get a shot.

 

[HOSS]

Bow kill P&Y black bear that I killed in the 1990's up near Atikokan, Ontario.


Bow kill Mouflon from a ranch in south Texas. Hardest part about this one was the other 15 sets of eyes that I had to avoid on the stalk.


This one is still at the Taxidermist. He scored 144" P&Y. I can't wait to get back at them again this year.

Hoss very nice. I don't bow hunt as much as I use too and never killed any mountable ones with the bow.

I bow hunted 6 or 7 years without killing a big deer. I finally came to the realization that the only chance I had at killing a bruiser was to hunt were there are bruisers. Sounds simple but it is very true. Once I concentrated on hunting areas that held big bucks (mostly the Midwest states) I started killing big ones. No matter how much skill I had, how scent free I was or how sound my my hunting strategy was if there were no big bucks in the area I had 0% chance of killing one. It has worked out well for me.
