Much congratulations to Darr and Parker. Great job Carr in teaching kids the right way to hunt.

That is one awesome looking buck! Good job!

I have to agree with some of the comments stating that if you got only 1 lung at best, he's most likely still running around. One question I have is when you jumped him after the hit, did he show any sign of being in bad shape? Was he limping real hard or having trouble moving? Again, if not there's a good chance the shot was not fatal. If I were in your shoes, after all of the effort you have put in looking for him, I would accept the fact you will most likely not find him and resume hunting. I would hunt in that area with hope of finding some sign of him, but I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to harvest a different buck. That's just me and you must figure that out for yourself. Best of luck either way. Readers, please hold your comments for another post on situation ethics so this thread stays on point to help this guy out.

Nice buck Dane. Bruce, would you buy that poor kid some hunting boots?! Lol

Congratulations young man! Those are a couple great looking animals, keep working hard and there will be many more coming your way.

Wow, those are a couple great bulls! Congratulations on your success!

Way to get it done Jed!

Just gonna agree with what's already been said, great bull, well done, way to stay with it and congratulations.

Don't know you Adam but thank you for stepping up and helping this new hunter out. Samuel, it takes some real desire to want to learn to have the courage to openly ask for help from total strangers. I am sure you are going to learn a lot from Adam and you will be enjoying many great hunts in the future. And remember when the opportunity comes your way in the future, help out someone else who is in need. Adam, no pressure but make sure he gets to shoot a great buck!!

Great bull and great job getting it done.

Good for you bud!! Putting in that time made it work out like it should. Congratulations.

Wow, that's a great bull! Good job.

You da man Noah!! Great buck!

Dang that is a stud buck right there!! Love it. I'm jealous...

Earlier today I was doing some daydreaming and thought back to when I was younger and all of the previous hunts I had been on. Is what I was mainly thinking about was how in those days, everyone went out for several days and set up a camp, usually tents, and enjoyed their cqmpout and hunt. One of the things that was always to be thought about was the "meat pole". I remember always getting back from the days hunt and go look at the hanging tree to see what animals were taken. We would also go and drive by other camps to see how they had fared. It seems to me that this tradition is pretty much a thing of the past. I believe that a big part of why its changed is that the weather seems to be so much hotter during the hunts nowadays. I also remember that many times the animals were not skinned until you got home from the hunt, a decision that would today most likely leave you with a spoiled animal. You all remember these traditions being true or is it just me remembering things that way?

There is nothing quite like hunting with your son. To put a little twist on a songs lyrics, "and he thinks we're just hunting". Congratulations.

I absolutely love a big old mulie....big time congrats guys.

Guys, I don't want to ruffle too many feathers but these are wild animals and I would much rather see a hunter take them then the animal being hit by a car or something. Hanging around neighborhoods getting more used to human activity isn't the best for them anyways. Just seems like some are trying to make them almost like a pet...this is exactly how the anti crowd wants everyone to fell about them. Wild animals, if on legal hunting ground, fair game right?

Elpepe...hilarious, simply hilarious!!

Hey all, I was wondering if many of you follow this show? If so, did you see the last episode where the lady gets "scoped"? OMG it was as bad of one as I've ever seen. It was so obvious IG was coming, she had no part of the stock against her shoulder. I was sitting there saying " this is gonna hurt"!!!

I will never forget the days of scowering my bedroom floor searching in the shag carpet for dropped BBs. Great times with them little guns.

Thats a great looking bull! I have been waiting to see some pics of big bulls coming out of the burn areas over there. Should be good for the next few years. Congrats

WOW!! Now those are a couple fantastic bulls! The time length on that bottom bull is flat out impressive. Congratulations on a couple of incredible animals. Thanks for sharing the pics, would really like to hear the story...

WTF??!!

Wasn't this bull killed in GMU 31? BTW I think your theories on moisture timing and antler growth are spot on! I also believe that if it is a dry winter , spring and early summer the rut activity will be very weak as well...my 2¢
