I couldn't resist. As a tradition, we Jensens(as in me, my bro, dad and uncle) DO NOT take photos where we deer hunt. Never, ever, ever, ever. Someone might recognize it. So, no kill shots.
My favorite hunt is the deer hunt, and considering that I have 4 deer tags(1 General, 2 Does, 1 Wyoming) this year, it's going to be a busy year. Combine that with Antlerless Elk and Moose, and I've got more hunts than I can do.
The first two pics are my little brothers first buck in 2004. 196 gross B&C 31" 4X4 w/ eyeguards. Not bad for a first buck. In fact he kicked my butt.
The second is my 2006 buck. 186 gross B&C. 28", 4X4 w/ eyeguards. Great looking, very symetrical. Wasn't my first choice, either. He was just a nice buck to end the hunt with.
The third and final buck is my dad's 2006 buck. 34" 208 gross B&C. 4X5. Amazing mass, too. He has triple eyeguards one side, double the other. One was knocked off partially on a steep fall. If you count all his trash at the bottom, he's a 8x6. Biggest buck killed in our family barr none. A true monarch.
This year? Well, with all the water our range has recieved, along with litterally zero hunting presure, all bets are off. Last year we jumped a 36-38" buck with trash hanging everywhere. I know where he's at. We also saw a lot of 24-28" fours, and some big old 3 points, too.(I'd post my brother's 06 buck, a 31" 3x3 if he wasn't in the taxidermist.) I can't wait for October to come!
