Grade A Prime.Haven't been able to get out much this year. Friday was cold with lots of wind. Finally had some time away from work so went out to sit the last hour of the day.
This spike came in after 15 minutes in the tree. Shot him at 5.5 yards. View attachment 768201 View attachment 768202
Excellent eating. Very tender. I like antlers as much as the next guy, but I'll take what I can get with limited time in the stand.Grade A Prime.
That, my friend, is a Dandy. Don't think that I could get him on my little 250cc Beartracker.Another Kansas Buck

Can't let Kansas get all the glory. Here is a friend's take last weekend in Arkansas. His family came in this is the results. Prime example of what the 3 point rule and proper habitat management can do. These were take off of approximately 500 acres.View attachment 769107 View attachment 769108 View attachment 769109

I shot a big buck with my bow about 100 yards from the truck. Caught one lung and, of course, he went 200-250 yards into deep hollow. I rode bushes down with the little Yamaha and had to lift it up to turn it around in the brush. Loaded my deer and rode back up a steep hill with buck on the back. I knew that if I took him off the ATV that I couldn't lift him onto the truck bed so I crawled up on the handlebars and rode the whole rig up the ramps and onto the truck. Possibly the dumbest thing that I have ever done. I was 30 miles from home, no cell service and no one knew where I was. If I had flipped the Yamaha I would still be there. I don't do that stupid stuff anymore. Takes too long to heal.your bear-tracker will do fine, I also have a 500 Polaris but I like the bear-tracker better for deep woods hunting. smaller and lighter and gets into some realy tight spots with ease. eastbank.
