Wow! That certainly is a toad of a buck. Good story and what a wall hanger it will make. Congratulations! TJ

I hope I can still be hunting at 68. That is awesome and you got one hunt there to be very proud of. Keep up the good hunting and many more years for ya as well. Thanlks Amanda for helping out here. TJ

A big congratulations to you on your lion and deer as well. I think I might know just how you felt that day. You certainly had your work cut out for you with both critters on the ground. Great story and post some pics when you figure it out. It took me awhile to figure it myself. TJ

Last week's hunt was to be Dad's. He's pushing the big 80 and I really wanted him to get the 6x I had on my trail cam. The big buck came in every night and twice during the day the week prior to our hunt. I sat with Dad all day Friday and only does came in. Dad was unable to get his bones working so he didn't hunt Sat. Again the 6x came in at night with several other bucks. Dad left for home and was to be back Sunday by noon and I had decided I would sit before daylight till dark but at 7:30 Sunday morning here came this buck that had been hanging out with the 6x. I held out as long as I could and thought if I shot this one then Dad could get the big one. Sounded like a good excuse to me to pull the trigger on this 3x3. Couldn't get the self timer to work so no pics with me and deer. Monday morning I had Dad in the blind before daylight and this was to be his day when in came this lion. I didn't see it and Dad said there was a lion in front of us. The inside of that blind was nuts. I said shoot him and Dad said he didn't have a tag. I grabed his rifle and by now the lion was 100yards up the hill and I couldn't get a clear shot. Dad's yelling in my ear quietly, "can you see him" and then the lion turned towards the only opening I had. I put the crosshairs in the clearing and she walked out. BANG! Dad said, "my God you're bleeding". The scope smacked me in the nose since my position and form wasn't quite right. I didn't know if I had hit the lion till I got up the hill and she laid her ears back and hissed. I missed at 40yds. Shaking like a leaf I got closer and finally finished her off. All I could think of was how I screwed up Dad's hunt but he was happy for me. He said the memories are all that counts anyways. I will be back in Jan. for the big boy. Bow in hand. 3x3 my 3rd lion Pa and his lion I shot It was good times with Dad. He was to tired to hunt the rest of the hunt but he gave it his all.Thanks Pa! TJ

That's a great looking buck. Good story as well. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Welcome to the site and congrats on your buck and your brother's. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Good scouting pays off. Congrats on all your bucks. TJ

Thanks Amanda. I accidently got the camp in there and thought the 6x was the pic so I modified and posted the deer I'll be after in Jan. TJ

A big congrats to each and everyone in that family who scored this year. You all have been on a roll and keep up the good work Dad. TJ

Look forward to seeing your buck and welcome to the best web site there is. TJ

What a pretty little girl and the bucks are awesome as well. TJ

May God look after him and all our other men&women in the service that are fighting for our rights and the rights of others. TJ

Amazing what you can do with a computer. This is what that buck really looked like before photoshopped!! Looks like casey has been hunting this area as well. TJ

Brent, that is a very nice buck. The country side looks great and all the other pictures I enjoyed as well. You got it done with as little time as you had and that nakes it all that much nicer. Thanks for sharing. TJ

That is an awesome buck. Congrats. The lion sighting with cubs had to be exciting as all get go. TJ

Congrats on your deer. TJ

Hector, I'm jealous as all get go. Thanks for making me want to eat everything in the frig. Looked like a very good time. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Thanks Jeff, after you saw the pic of the 6x you know Jan. can't get here soon enough. Glad you and Roy had a chance to stop by camp before scouting 22s. Hope you saw some elk. TJ

That buck is something else. All I can say is NICE. One of a kind right there. Congrats. TJ

Congrats on a fine looking deer and to top it off with that find is awesome. TJ

Brent, you bet your Dad was watching down with the biggest smile in the whole universe. Congratulations and I can't wait to see the pics. TJ

Congratulations on your bucks. Isn't it great to be hunting and not working? Thanks for sharing. TJ
