oliver2-44 9,680 #1 Posted November 22, 2018 Today was the 3rd time I’ve been out hunting at our family farm this year I usually go for 2-3 days at a time. I didn’t get any Doe tags this year but they sure are thick when the feeder goes off This morning about 10:30 I connected with this nice 7 point Buck. He was a larger than average bodied deer and had fairly long and heavy tines, but not a lot of width to the antlers. In our county you can shoot a spike or a buck with antlers at least 13” wide (which the say is outside the ears). This one measured 14” wide and gave me a nice front look to see his antlers pasted the ear test. I had to use my old Oliver tractor to go pick him up as it was to wet to drive in the pasture. I haven’t run the Oliver in about. 2 months but it’s 4cyl Continental Diesel engine kicked right off as always. Never get enough Oliver or Wheelhorse seat time. Got him skinned, quartered and iced down in the cooler. I’ll debone Friday. Time to make sausage, jerky, and chili meat. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,022 #3 Posted November 22, 2018 Nice buck Jim....WTG. I didn't score in archery season, so I'll get to hunt the rifle season this year. The two week rifle season opens on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
