Holy smokes what a couple of great bucks! Those things are pigs with a ton of charcter as well. I can't get over the mass and length of the eye guards on your buck! Your dads is a whopper as well with points where there just shouldn't be any. Unbelievable! Congrats. Phil

Man what an awesome trophy wall! They all look great (even that floppy eared guy). Thanks for posting it for us Jim and once again congrats to Popps! Phil

I couldn't agree more with what Desert Bull wrote. This has been my experience as well. Phil

Congrats on a great buck! Look forward to seeing more pics and hearing the story. Phil

Welcome to the site and what a great way to introduce yourself with a great archery buck. Feel free to post up all of those trail cam pics when you get a minute. Phil

Awesome buck and especially with a bow during a hot rifle hunt. Congrats on a great accomplishment and thanks for sharing it with us. Phil

I think he's a little better than what you'd think all though we can't see the width I'm gonna put him at 103 gross and 95 net. I tried scoring him when you first posted the story and I was all over the place....it will be interesting for sure but don't leave us hanging to long. Phil

Thanks for posting the picture but at that angle all you can tell is that he looks like a pretty good buck! Keep trying and you'll get a better view and then post him up and we'll pick him apart for ya. Phil

Awesome video of an awesome buck! Congrats again. Phil

Awesome story and pics as always Jim. A huge congrats on an awesome buck! He sure does have a lot of character...what a beauty! Thanks for posting your hunt for us to relive! Phil

Man what an awesome buck! Congrats. Great pictures as well. Let's here T-Bone's story and see some more pics...you better get him to sign in and post them up. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Phil

Welcome to the site Mr. Smith and good luck to you and Mrs. Smith on your upcoming hunt. Like everyone else said.....take a lot of pics and make sure and share your hunt with us regardless of the out come. Phil

Congrats! Way to get out there and get er done even though you had a very limited amount of time. Phil

Congrats to you and your brother. Sometimes no matter how much work we have put into something it just doesn't work out. Way to stick with it and enjoy your hunt even though its not the buck you were after. Phil

Awesome buck Stan! How about a little story to go with it? Phil

Awesome bucks and great pictures. Congrats to you and your dad. Phil

When I took the mental tape to it I came up with 90-93. So I would say he's on the higher end of the range the author stated. I was thinking 95" gross so I feel better about my scoring ability. I didn't see the part about mid 90's....I guess I was too excited to get to the pictures. It looks like a score sheet in the bottom pic doesn't it? Regardless its a nice buck no matter what the figures are. Phil

Great buck and great story. A very good write up. Is it just me or does anyone else think he looks a lot bigger then what the author states? Phil

Awesome buck. Man those are some great main beams with some awesome tine lenght as well. Good job on the pictures as well. Good luck in November and I'm with you...I hope the snakes stay in their holes. Phil

Absolutely beautiful buck and your dad's is nice too! Congrats to both of you and how awesome to share it with your dad. Good wirte up! I'm like you keep the pics and stories coming. I can't wait for the ninth to roll around! Phil

Nice buck! Congrats to Gabe and it looks like he made a heck of a shot. Phil

Very pretty buck! Congrats to you and it sounds like you worked for it. Thanks for sharing him with us. Phil

Congrats on a successfull hunt, sounds like a short one but a successfull one none the less. Phil

Great bucks there 257! congrats to you and your friend. Those are some beautiful bucks. You guys got me all excited for my hunt coming up on the 9th of Nov. It just can't get here fast enough. Thanks for sharing them with us. Phil

The unit isn't important...what's important is after some really hard work I was able to celebrate successs with a good friend - as witnessed in all the other great stories that can happen in any unit. Well said Larry. I hope to share a similar situation in a couple weeks with my father and/or good friend! Phil
