Not hardly Harry. We took two deer off of my property this year and rarely take any real numbers. Six would be a big year when I get a little antsy and tip over a few extra skinheads with the bow in the late season.

Well found the second half of the big 12 pt with split brow tines. It was laying in the yard at the log cabin when I went out to cut grass today.

Wow - Nice Find Harold!!





.

yes sir a nice find indeed....hope you get your sights on this one some time...charlie

forgot to ask about the log cabin bet it s got some history and deer tails...charlie

Charlie, my son unfortunately missed that buck with my in-line muzzle loader in January. I need to shoot that gun at the range and make sure it is still on.
The cabin was built down in that hollow between 1825-1830, I bought the property in 1995 and restored the cabin. It is in eastern Ohio in the foothills of the Appalachians. Lots of very big deer roam those hills. A 185 class buck was taken near me earlier this year. There are no corn, soybeans, or other crops anywhere near me, as in other states. Just across the Ohio River in West Virginia, you would be hard pressed to find a buck of that size. In Ohio, the limit is 1 buck per year regardless of method( archery, gun, muzleloader.)
In WV, you can take up to 5 bucks if you get all the tags, they just dont have the opportunity to grow old and big like in Ohio. You can bet i'll be on the lookout for him next year.

About the only time I ever find sheds, is when I am looking for mushrooms.....

Nice finds!

great storey about the deer and the cabin...thanks charlie

Found this dead head this week. Unfortunately can't take these off the reservation. We did give a Game warden the GPS coordinates so they could recover.

Harold, we lived in Minford, Ohio back in the early 70's on top of a mountain. Had 5 acres. Just had to open the back door, go down the mountain and hunt deer and birds all day long. Great memories of Ohio living
