Title: DEER SEASON Post by: Eric on September 19, 2012, 02:01:42 pm Gotta brag on my 14 year old son... he got a bow last Christmas and has been practicing faithfully in the back yard...
Well first day of Bow Season (this past Saturday) he dropped this in his first shot.. a 11 point still in velvet... scored at 159... He is SO EXCITED (kinda like me when I go to Chicago)... Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Slapshot42 on September 19, 2012, 02:13:07 pm Nice rack!
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: collecture on September 19, 2012, 02:22:19 pm What a great pic!
His practice paid off for sure! Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: mznb1u on September 19, 2012, 05:56:29 pm Looks to me like he needs to pick up a new hobby because deer hunting can't get much better than that! Nice work. :happydrinkers:
Get him a bowling ball for this Christmas and he will probably roll a 300 before St. Patrick's Day! :biggrin: 8) :laugh: :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: johnieG on September 19, 2012, 06:13:32 pm mmm...venison steaks! nice first buck, he'll remember it always!
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Jim on September 19, 2012, 06:46:18 pm That's something to brag about ! ! !
We always like one shot kills; give him a Congrats from me! I'm gearing up to head to north FL visit w/ the parents early next week, hopefully get the 6 point that's been hanging around that I have photos of from my trail camera! For Eric Jr., that's an awesome first buck ! ! ! Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on September 19, 2012, 07:21:01 pm Great Job!!!!!
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: ld26 on September 19, 2012, 08:09:55 pm thats a nice looking buck, way to go Eric's boy
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: TomFromJersey on September 19, 2012, 09:12:34 pm Awesome Buck....Congrats Eric and to your Son! I'm not 100% sure, but I believe a taxidermist can inject the antlers with fermaldihyde to keep them in there current state.
Tom Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Eric on September 19, 2012, 09:21:12 pm Thanks guys.. yeah he's pretty happy...He just started high school so this really helped him with the older crowd...
Tom it's at a taxidermist now... Merry Christmas to that guy... :wow: they said they can keep it as is... doing somthing like that I'm sure... I just hope I do as good hunting this November in Chicago... :hopefull: Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Fire708 on September 19, 2012, 10:54:23 pm Congrats! That's a nice buck. He should be very proud.
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Blind1968 on September 20, 2012, 08:23:11 am Awesome Job!
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: TomFromJersey on September 20, 2012, 08:24:55 pm Eric.....Buddy....I think he's got you beat!
Tom Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Eric on September 20, 2012, 08:39:47 pm Don't say that Tom.. there's gotta be a Quikold this time....I've been 4 years straight.. this has got to be the year :biggrin:
Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: halehouse on September 20, 2012, 09:22:12 pm Good for him. Congratulations! Great pic too.
What's it mean to score a 159? Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: Eric on September 20, 2012, 09:33:07 pm it's how they measure the points/total rack... my brother-in-law got a buck last year that scored out at 172... HUGE.... they hit a certain number they
become a BOONE and CROCKET.. a elite group Kind of like owning a RC 81 or a one of a kind rare machine/cooler in our world 8) Title: Re: DEER SEASON Post by: TomFromJersey on September 21, 2012, 09:00:34 pm I'll be rooting for you Eric!! I'd like to see you find a Double Cola or Cleo Cola Quickold!
