2009 Whitetail

Post by Mike »

Here's a pic of the buck that I shot on opening day of Missouri's firearms season.

He's a nine-point that I feel very fortunate to put a tag on. Of course, the very next day an absolute monster of a buck walks to within 35 yards of me and poses broadside. Since you can only harvest one buck during firearms season here in MO, all I could do was watch the big guy for a while. Maybe next year...

Nope. People do it all of the time, but the practice is illegal.

Nice buck Mike!
Isn't that always how it goes though...right after you tag out you see the monster. Oh well, not many would pass up that buck. I know I wouldn't! ;)
