2006 Rifle Buck

[8point]

I got the 14 point last november,the 8 point a couple of years back during rifle and the 12 point mount that is on the left in the wall mount pic during black powder in 2000. The horn only 10 point was one of my first back about 1983. The 8 point is not pictured on the wall. my daughter was with me for the first time when I shot it,so I mounted the horns on a oak board and gave it to her.It was a big rack in this area for a 8 point. She asked me if we were going to shoot one that big everytime we went hunting. hehe I had been in the stand till about 9am lastyear and went to the truck tailgate along with my hunting buddy to drink some coffee and tell each other we didn't see anything. I had the coffee cup to my mouth and he said"are you going to shoot that buck or am I?" I looked out ahead about 240 yards and there the 14 point stood looking at us.I was using a older Rem.742 in the 30-06 with a 3x9x40 scope. The rifle still does the job and I saved the cup of folgers. I told him I was going to hunt off his tailgate next season.hehe Since deer season is about here again then maybe the pics will get the juices flowing.

Nice! I got my rifle sighted in a few eeks ago with some nice handlaods I made. Now, I just have to wait till the season starts.

Nice! We got smaller white tails in the mountains. South Georgia has the Bigguns!

[8point]

I finely put the rem.742 out to pasture this spring. I was strooling thru the wallieworld sporting dept. and found a 700 ADL in the 30-06 with open sights for $367. I had no intention of buying a new deer rifle but I walked out with one.I already had a new bushnell scope so all I needed was the see thru mount. The Win. 150 gr. ammo runs about $14 per box,will shoot moa at 100, and deer season is about the only time I'll shoot the rifle so I'll hold off on reloading for the
30-06 for now.The weather here has been kinda odd this spring and summer with all the rain in the spring and early summer and then the triple digit temps. I'm wondering what effect it will have on the deer this season.The weather this year has got me behind on getting all the stands trimmed around. I don't like cutting around stands this close to season so I'll just have to make do. We have a bonus doe tag in dec. so I may take the scoped M39 out for that.
Good luck to you on your hunting this coming season.

Where's the 14-point?

The most points I see on anything is 12. Not doubting, but do you have a better picture showing all the points. We saw a few 12's last season and a 14 as well. It wasn't my land or I would have taken it. It was a nice heavy older buck (7 years maybe), with a thick wide rack. Would have been really nice on the wall for sure.

The other two points in the first picture are smaller,set to the back, and aren't visible in the shot. I'll check a shot of just the head without me and see if the points are better displayed.
