Actually DD, that picture was much better before I ran it through my new photo editing software! :cry:
It is supposed to be an improved version of my old program, but I don`t see it!
The camera is a Sony DSC-F717. And that buck is not all that big. Amazing what the right angle can do for you. That bucks grosses 150 6/8".
BTW, whats up with the Deere phone? Been trying to call you for like 2 hours now! :?

...MidMo...lol...don't know about you, but I finally had to go to one of those HUNTER SAFETY SYSTEMS so I could sleep without worrying about falling out of the tree and hanging myself!!! :P ...

Have any game cam pics of the PA bucks?
Have many mature bucks on the property? Not Nec. P&Y but mature. Also what county is the property on?
After I talk with my buddy I will hit you back with a PM from our PM'S over at AT.

Buckeyebuckhntr, sorry man, no trailcam photos. I am getting a couple of digital cameras built right now.
Yes, we do have some mature bucks there. I passed on a 130" eight point yesterday. I guess I should have given him a dose of SST Hammer, but I still have Pike county on the brain. :?
This property is in Greene county, PA.
I am having a heck of a time with AT in general, and especially the PM system. Gotta run an errand for the missus, I`ll get back to you!

Well get to it :D
Guys,
Keep an eye on the pics so that they dont scroll off the right side of the screen.
You should NOT have any code showing when you are done. I fixed these so you can see them without having to scroll
Thanks

Small world indeed! That buck was killed a couple of years ago. The hunter is a good friend of mine. He killed that buck on his first trip to Pike county.
He hunted a total of ..........5 minutes! :roll:

What did that bad boy score?
I would guess mid 160's gross.
Does he live over here in OH or PA?
Big Country
12-04-2004, 10:11 AM
The hunter lives in PA.
As to the bucks score.......I really missed my guess on this one. I video taped this buck on a friday afternoon and replayed the tape on a TV. I guessed the buck at 163".
We got this hunter in a stand where we figured that buck would come back into the timber on saturday morning.
5 minutes after shooting light, the 12 point was on the ground.
P&Y gross.....164 6/8". :wink:

Naw, 60% of my hunters did not kill a buck this year.
Half of those that did not kill one elected to pass on 125-130" bucks though. :wink:

I know that I had more than my fair share of opportunities to kill a 130-150 class buck... holding out for 160" plus was my decision and I enjoyed every minute of the two weeks... even the waiting in a tree like a BUZZARD....:D
Big Country
12-08-2004, 11:45 AM
Javi, you done a good job learning to perch on a limb! :lol:
Can`t wait till next year to do it again.
Might as well throw up another happy hunter.......
