Congrats!
Thats a real nice buck!
Well, this weekend was the date for our lottery muzzleloader hunt over at Lake Ophelia nwr, my youngest son didn't get a chance to shoot, but he did see 3 pigs and then a doe fly by him.
I on the other hand ended hunting about 200 yards from him in a place that I didn't like and didn't really want to hunt, but I stayed there anyways and it paid off big time. We were catching the tail end of the rut and this big boy came out chasing a doe just after 3 saturday evening... Enjoy the pics, my head is still swolen a little from it, it is a once in a lifetime buck for someone from south Louisiana without having to go to Missouri or Iowa or some other northern state....
He was skinny from running does, he weighed in at 180lbs and the game wardens said if I would have got him at the beginning of the rut he should have been around 240-250 lbs.
Had to shoot him through a bunch of little trees at about 100 yards.
They(wlf) counted him as a 13 point.... 19 inch spread, 5 inch cir at the base on one side, 5.25 on the other... one main beam 21" and the other 22"
One of them told me he should score somewhere between 160-180 green...but idk
50 cal CVA Optima Pro
100g pyrodex powder
250g TC Shockwaves
You can't fish with a hung line!

congrats...now thats a pig....
Johnny, that is a very nice deer. You should have bought a real lottry ticket on the way home. You look WAY too serious in the pictures. I would have a smile from here to there. I see some overtime in your future to pay for the mounting of that beast, I just hope you BOSS is not too jealous. Nice way to end the season.
Put a smile on a little face, take a child fishing.
Great buck
Goodnight Vienna...Pistols Firing!!!

Get Da Net! :D
Wow.
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
J you the man bet you where freakin out. Nice job
That is one fine deer. Nothing like a little luck and a good set up!
Congrats
Take your kids hunting and fishing, and you won't be hunting your kids
Thanks for the reply's... the horns/head is in the freezer and next week, after we get back from our C.C Larto gathering, he will be heading to Deridder, La. to David's Wildlife Creations to be mounted.. Same guy I used 3 years ago when I killed the 190lb 8 point that is on the wall... The guy does "show" mounts and my mount looks just as good as it did when it came home.
Oh and my buddy's son killed a young pig and a friend that went with us killed a 110lb doe on the same trip.
