He's 200 all day long and then some

Congrats, only ever killed sals in our house. Great job!

Agreed, I have two of these and the head is pretty smooth. $139 off amazon

And a half..

I'm not good at scoring but I'd say almost big.

Pics can be deceiving but they look pretty Dang big! Boars or sals?

I think I just realized who you are... Congrats on your first stinkopotamus!

Man, I thought three a days were excessive.

$35 ain't that much Adam! Hahahaha

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Was pleasantly surprised when I rough scored him, he came super close to the couch buck. Based on the mass of the couch buck i would have guessed him a good 10" less but I have about a 3" difference. I guess the mass and trash was really decieving. I was already happy to cash in deer hunting for the year but now I'm even happier! Now I just need to get Pickles her first deer and help out a couple buddies!

Man, I'm surprised at how many fish tank heater horror stories I've been hearing. Thanks for the suggestions I will get a good one

She's frothing at the gash.

Awesome, super cool buck!

Thanks fellas

Never posted him before but this is the buck from the fish tank fire I just posted about in the campfire. It's been 6 years since I killed this buck and today was the first deer I killed since then.

Pic?

What about a whole extra size too big with some of those chemical warmers inside. I have insulated kenetrek with wool and still had some cold butt feet on the November kaibab hunt. Bigger boots with more room and handwarmers were where my head was at.

I like imagining what this rifle looks like

That's awesome, it's bigger than him! I hate smiling for pictures!

Congrats, sounds like a great hunt!

Awesome, love seeing kids get it done. Especially the daughters!

Ill be the weirdo here. Going from viper 15s to swaro 15s the difference would be obvious. Not sure theres a big benefit from going up in price and down in power. Example... recently on some hunts for a big name outfitter I outglassed guys with $2000 binos. Sometimes it's about the guy behind the binos not the binos, and I don't mean that to sound arrogant at all. Just saying that if you know how to glass and pick up deer the benefit of spending the extra cash may be negligible. I don't think you would regret the purchase at all. I plan to get to swaros when i can afford them over the needs of my kids. In the meantime i can hold my own just fine with my viper 15s.

Seen a biggin im saving for later. Stood where i thought i should for my patterned buck and decided to shoot a forkie coming too close to me and heard me draw so never had a clean shot. Saw my target buck too far at last light to make a move. Keep plugging away...

Yup, subjective. Identifying a buck is super relative though based on the target sized buck your after. A spike and a big buck are way different goals. A big buck you can tell far away, not so much a spike. Imo, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS YOUR GLASS IS ON A TRIPOD. All that being said, i dont have top tier glass, i have mid tier. So with my glass i can identify a shooter from other deer with 10s at somewhere between 600 to 800 yards.

Just saw one poop. Poop is funny!
