Title: The one that got away
Post by: Dave on November 11, 2012, 08:15:53 PM
If you saw my "On the board" thread in the archery forum, I wrote about a nine point I was after during that morning.  I felt a little remorse after shooting the buck I later shot, which was a dandy.  Well a friend was driving around that area this afternoon and came across that nine point and shot these photos with a telephoto (I believe right from his car within a hundred yards of my tree stand - the doe around this area, I believe, have learned that they can find safety from a hounding buck by hunkering up close to roads).
Anyway, here are the pics - they don't get much bigger around here:

Thats definitely a keeper :eyebrow: Very thick.

Just a blow up of the second pic.  I keep looking at the length of those tines.
And I agree, Jim, that camera did a nice job.

That last photo looks like they're getting ready to play leapfrog...

Wow!  I hope he hangs around for another year to give you a chance again.  Great looking buck!

That one will haunt your memories for a while.  He's a real beaut!  He did not get that big by being stupid.  He'll hopefully be around next season for another round. :wink:
