Pine Donkey

These rumors seem to pop up each year around this time. Maybe this is the year the Stockwell buck will be beat, maybe not. Until someone puts it on the ground it is only a big MAYBE. Regardless, good luck to whoever might be chasing a stud, post stories and pictures.

Mounting a deer is not about a score as much as it is about preserving the memory of the hunt. Your buck is nice, but it wont set any records, however you and your dad may have made some world class memories. If this buck on the wall will be a constant reminder of those memories, you may want to mount it.

I love these stories about kids having success! Congratulations Garrett.

Nice buck, I love the character on its right side. Congratulations!

Any thoughts on this Lark?

Nice buck, great story. Thanks for posting.

BigOrange, I'll make it a bit tougher for you...My son took his girlfriend out in 35A this morning. By 6:40 they had glassed 11 does and 3 bucks. One buck was over the 100 inch mark. She missed him. The wind down here is really starting to blow. Better pack some pants with big pockets so you can fill them with rocks. Good luck

Vortex is a good product if you are not wanting to step up to the high end scope and their warranty is unbeatable. Barska is pretty much a piece of junk, and they do not stand behind their stuff. If you are looking to limit your shots to the 300 range, have you thought about something like the nikon or burris with a BDC redicle. Heck, with a 300RUM just a regular redicle would work pretty well. No worries about adjustments, and the durability is good.

Go out glassing in the morning and leave your gun in the truck. If you find a good buck, bed it down. Then go back to your truck, site in your gun to the new ammo, hike back to the buck and wait for him to stand.

Yes, it is a Marlin 336SC

Happy birthday Peg, hope that old man took you out to a nice dinner.

That is a beautiful goat taken in some increadible country. Congratulations!

Coues deer are so sneeky, but this guy is taking it to a new level. How do you hunt a buck who camos out! Nocturnal and camo, whats next...security cameras???

Great story, thanks for posting. Gongratulations on getting it done on the double. Welcome to the site.

Lark, I was wondering when you would show up and impart your wisdom on us. Glad to see you posting again.

I have my dad's old. 35 lever action. It usually sits in the safe but once in a while I take it out to shoot. It kicks like a. 300mag and has the trajectory of a pumpkin catapult.

Congratulations on the bucks, and spending time with you dad.

I understand the way your body talks to you after 40. The score of that buck does not matter, he is a great buck that you worked hard for. Congratulations!

Nice buck coach, that sure looks bigger than 103. Congratulations.

I love seeing the kids clean up on nice bucks. Great looking mounts!

Those doubles are awesome!

Welcome to the forum. 36C is a good unit, but be careful down there.

Great looking baby! Congratulations.

So, is that buck going to end up at Stacy's shop? I would love to see it first hand.

Wow Ernesto, you guys had quite a hunt. That will push up the success rate.
