Kentucky Buck

[tufrthnails]

I took the Nine point on private farm land in Kentucky. 120 yard shot with my Winchester lever .243.

Congrats Nice buck!

[barrel-nut]

Very nice indeed. That's a wall hanger by my standards for sure!

[moecarama]

Nice buck; I will be hunting LBL in Kentucky next year.

Very nice indeed. That's a wall hanger by my standards for sure!

It is in my book as well Barrel. I was so excited I did not think to take any measurements at all on the rack. I left it in KY with a taxidermist my cousin uses. I will pick up the mount when we go up there next year. My guess is it will score right around 140 boone and crocket.

Congrats. I will be up on the Kentucky border tomorrow trying my luck out.

Thanks guys good luck on your hunting. Hope you can bag something even bigger to share with us.

That's a solid KY buck, sir! Very nice. They don't get the massive racks like across the river in Ohio, but I think our deer taste better anyway. If you live in KY and see mass at the bases, you better drop that boy and get him scored! they're few and far between in the eastern side of the state, I don't care if you're driving a brand new Mercedes, run him down!

Thanks I shot him in Henderson County. Wish I had snapped a pic of the one the guy brought in while I was at the taxadermist. Very thick with a sweet drop tine and covered in little stickers. Gnarly looking buck.

Nice model 88 too. Weaned on an 88 in 308.

[tufrthnails]

Thanks it is Papa's old rifle it functions flawlessly, but the scope that was on it must have been 30 years old. Took it to the range before the hunt to sight it in and the elevation knob broke off in my hand. I scrambled and found a BSA 3x9x40 in one of my boxes of Crap. Nothing like mounting a scope the day before you leave and for a trip 800 miles away, but it all worked out. This year I will be taking my new Savage 111 trophy hunter in .270. Which reminds me I need to start ordering some parts and get on the ball November will be here before I know it.

that's a nice lookin' 88, I own one in .308.

[barrel-nut]

Seems to be the trend everywhere unfortunately

You gotta love that "free" meat. Just like anything else,if you want to play you got to pay!

[tufrthnails]

Oh yeah that free meat is more expensive then filet mignon by the time I pay for gas, tags, food and ammo. We do it for the comradery.
