Any bucks in velvet pics?

Nice pics, how much did that one weigh Kchap?

He was a little over 200

On the hoof or field dressed? Not a big rack, but he looked like he had some meat on him

field dressed.. he looked like a cow. He's on the right. Not big compared to what I've killed since. And I'm still waiting on more from the taxidermist. My other walls are full too and I told my wife I got to build another wall in the middle of my living room to hang more on

Nice pics, I knew that deer had some heft to it

Here’s that 6 1/2 from last season I was talking about. He had a 21” inside spread and weighed 230lbs on the hoof. He was only in the low 140”s though with them little brow tines.

Is that a Savage MSR 10

No it’s a SigSaur 716tread .308, the MSR’s are nice guns though my cousin has one and it’s every bit as high quality as my Sig. I believe they’re also about the same price roughly.

I have one…I like it but have only shot steel with it…I should take it hunting this year

These are yearlings in the front yard, last evening. The big boys are staying two streets over, and I haven't kept the camera in the car to get pictures of them

I prefer a 150gr Hornady American whitetail but any lead soft point will do like core/lokt, federal, and Norma whitetail to name a few I have personally used. Ballistic tips are also nice I’m just never shooting farther than 100 yards so I personally don’t bother with them. Hell a regular cheap 147gr FMJ will drop a deer in its tracks if you hit him the neck or high shoulder/spine.

Here's a closeup of a young one in velvet, and "my" three legged doe. She has twins again this year, which is pretty good for a deer that can't put weight on that leg. Guess she can't outrun the bucks, either. Best we can tell, she has at least five offspring, and at least one grand-deer, but maybe quite a few more. We are guessing, based on how comfortable some seem to be with particular others.
