A few hours after daylight. Nice surprise. 187 lbs. after field dressed. 8 point. Really happy to have the winch on the 4 wheeler to pull him out of the gully or I may have had to cut him up right in the woods. lol

Dad shot a spike with the muzzleloader up there (I tell him to let the little ones by but no one does, so all you ever see are forks and spikes practically). Ohio's season starts monday, and I got a brand new 20ga 'rifle' to test out, a Savage 220F. Can't wait. I did get one with the bow, just a small doe, so looking for 1-2 more to feed the family for a year.

So I hung up the 12 gauge and started using the 30-06. Now it's pretty much one gun for both zones unless I take the pistol, which is alot of fun also.
I know what you mean about the small bucks. Unfortunately, the bigs ones don't always come around, and after not seeing anything, you have to fill the freezer with something. It would be nice to own enough land to really manage the property, but I am not that fortunate. I hunt on my buddies land. Here's a pic of the deer hanging.
