Hunting

[Laxdad24]

I've never been a hunter but I have hit a total of five deer in my car over the years. Does that count? I do love to fish, though, for similar reasons as those who like to hunt. Very peaceful and tranquil, as long as you avoid the weekends, but you don't have to freeze your ass off like you do sitting in a tree stand, lucky to even see a deer. I prefer the warmer weather, myself. Speaking of hunting, did you see the picture of this guy's 19 point buck?

That’s a beauty. That being said and as impressive as a 19 pt Buck is ....in my 45 yrs I’ve never been given a good recipe for Antler Stew. Lol. I think fishing may be more exciting than hunting. Nothing like hearing that drag whine or seeing a big bass hit top water. Gets the heart pounding !

Nothing beats top water fishing IMO.

I saw that article last night. Deer on roids, I guess. Never been a hunter myself, but wondering if the older a buck is, the more points it gets or is there a prime age where they grow the most points and as they get older, have less?

It's a combination of age, diet and genetics. Basically, a freak of nature.

Do you have a picture of your 11 pointer?

No, actually it wasn't. It was an irregular, though.

It's at the taxidermist right now. I'm getting a Euro Mount done w/it. Wife says I have enough "deer heads" hanging around already.....lol.

Gotcha. Still a big deer. Congratulations.
