tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Ilene, I know how much you wanted to take that buck with your archery equipment. I can't believe you sat as long as you did with all the stories of deer sightings everyday. You are to be commented on your patience, which I would have bailed long before you, for sticking with those long hours in a blind. Shooting this awesome buck at the last moment with a rifle is no disgrace in any way. The pictures are great and thanks for sharing your story of your hunt. There's no doubt Roger was a big part of your success. Congratulations to the both of you. Looking forward to another ADA Banquet with you and Roger and keep them whiskies coming to Roger and you just might have another hunt of a lifetime. lol TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramerhunts Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Congratulations on a super nice buck! Way to adapt and get it done in a big way at the end of the hunt. Looks like a beautiful ranch and some good times had by all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 24, 2012 I have to ask, how long are those main beams? Looks like if they curled in, they would overlap! Awesome deer, congrats! I honestly do not know, I don't know how to measure antlers. Maybe when I see Amanda at the Women's Javi Hunt she can measure it for me! Thanks everyone!!! Bring it and I will measure it for you!
