Nice job!!! I shot one last yr with a mane. Tanned it to keep as a wall hanger.

My youngest and his best friend both have Tristar over and unders. My oldest has a Turkish made 870 clone. Have yet to see a reason to not trust them. Plus Tristar's headquarters is out of Kansas City. Plus, I've heard nothing but spectacular reviews for their customer service.

Congrats!!!

Oversized controls, and yes.

Bigfoot?

Felt as good in hand today as it did before. So it's riding shotgun in the truck now.

I don't keep up on much. Explain the mRNA in pork and beef thing?

What a neat deer!

I passed this one several times last year. I think he got significantly bigger this year. If I'm lucky enough to get a shot at him I think it'll be hard to pass. He has a good frame and great mass (for our place). Tine length sucks so he wouldn't score well, but I don't really care about...

I'm kind of the same way with other's shooting something I passes. I get that way with sheds too. If I pass on a nice buck then find his sheds it's almost like I actually shot him. You're spot on with watching them. There is so much to learn about watching a mature buck. They are...

He scores BIG!

The youngest told me earlier this week "dad, I want to try to shoot a big one this year". He really doesn't hunt much. It's during basketball season and NOTHING gets in the way of basketball. So it's usually just shoot whatever happens to come by on the one or two hunt he finds time for.

He'll have a tough road ahead of him. Have to avoid getting run over on the highway, poachers, neighboring hunters, and my kids and their friends.

Yes, basic 5x6. But this year both brows are split and the nubs on the bases from last year are a little bigger.

Had a nice buck at 20yds last weekend. Took quite a few pics. Afterwards started to wonder if letting him walk was a wise choice, so I grabbed last years sheds and threw a quick tape on them. I figure he's 150-160's at best. Can't tell that he's any bigger this year or not. I'm hopeful he...
