    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    WOW I've never shot a whitetail with antlers that nice.

    Yes I am impressed...

    Wish my wife would go hunting with me.
    Funniest post I have ever read...

    I have not noticed significant runout, mind you,after a few brews I lose interest in measuring...

    And here's my after, after shot. I did my first Euro Mount by myself at home. I'm about 3 days deep into the process, and still need to find the perfect piece of wood from our property to mount him to. This guy has been so much work, but well worth it. Butchering night tonight, so moment of truth!

    Aaaand all the spoils of my first deer!

    Home euro mount, and lots of delicious meat! Thank you everyone for your kind words, this has definitely been a life-changer for me (us!). I'm already planning our program for our property next year. We are lucky enough to have 160 acres to call home, so I am setting up hiding/feeding plots of corn, peas, and crabapple. We will also continue to provide salt and any extra hay we may have during the tough winter months. Most of our pasture is naturally covered in clover, so the deer already feel at home. I'm excited to encourage them to rear their young here, and stick around. I'll maybe start a different thread in the spring to share what we've done, and open chat about ideas for improvement.

    Checking the TC today at a nice spot we've left salt, molasses block, and a good bale of hay about a week ago.

    Great job! Congratulations on an awesome deer.
    Cody: It's a pretty cool sidearm you got there. What is it?
    Four Leaf Tayback: I don't know what it's called. I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life.

    Frank, I never thought I'd say this again. I'm getting the pig!
    Frank, we gotta get rid of this broad. I know a great place up the road. Lots of alligators.

    Marvin: If there's one thing I know, it's women and covert operations.
    Frank: Marvin, that's two things.
    Han Cho Bai: No, grasshopper. It is not.
