We are pretty close, I am in North Idaho.
Took down this buck last season. .50 muzzle loader open sites. Shot at about 60 yards right under the right eye. I was watching this deer all during shot gun season being the biggest in the area, but could never get a shot. I ended up bagging it after it lost it's antlers for some reason by PW season, but it was about a 10 point. My dad joked that you can't eat horns anyway..
Eh it was hardly a trophy buck. It was a very BIG buck, as Ohio is known for, but the spread wasn't trophy size and it wasn't a very pretty deer. But as I said, I was hunting it all season. I had to take him when I finally got a shot. I was kind of let down when I saw him, because I knew the deer I was looking at..without the antlers. For some reason, last season a lot of bucks lost their antlers early.
Yea, Ohio is known world wide for it's trophy bucks....and hot women.
Can't say about the women but Ohio, Indiana and Illinois produces some record book bucks every year. Nothing like lots of corn and beans for big deer.
Can't say I would have shot him sans the headgear with lots of tasty young does around but to each their own.
In hindsight it would have been nice to see him grow up, but with so much public land in that area there is a good chance he would have been shot anyway.
First day of shotgun season was a success! Anyone else have any luck yet?
That being said, I did get some good, high-altitude-lake trout fishing.
It's official. I hate you. I haven't been in good cold water trout fishing for over 4 years. I hope those trout were tasty. I need to make a long (or a couple short) trip to Montana in the next year or two to get my skiing/snowboarding/fishing fixes in. This cloudy, 70 degree weather is a piss poor imitation of a good hard winter. I don't know a damn thing about warm saltwater fishing down here, and don't have the time to learn right now, either.
