What a great buck, Sac! Congratulations!
He looks to be at least 6 1/2 years old . . . did you have him aged at a check station?

HOBO_sm, that looks like a little Ruger 10/.22 you used for those squirrels. Nice gun for those bushytails. I've never hunted them with a dog. Does it help a lot? I'd be scared the squirrels would high-tail it out of the area. Or do they just keep their eye on your dog while you sneak around to pop them?

Yes its a 10/22 its a really good one for sure.

The squirrels will usually run up the tree and try to stay hidden, its best if you have a couple of people with you, one circles the tree and pushes the squirrel around to your side. If the squirrel decideds to timber before you get to the tree the dog follows it barking the whole time.

Congratulations on the cover. I've never seen, or heard of using bay dogs on squirrels. I don't think there's anything better then watching a dog work and he looks like he loves it.

Thanks. I agree I love watching good dog work.

I hope this doesnt offend anyone. These are my passions in life, Bow hunting, Photography, and the wife snapping my picture. This was taken with a XTi

Nice buck! Nice to see another Wisconsinite on here

Doesn't seem like it should offend anyone if you're hunting legitimately;

However, putting corn/food out all year for the deer to then sit right there waiting for them is bush league.

Sorry, but cheap hunters piss me off.

HA have you shot anything with a bow before? Bush league?? Cheap hunters?? First off each county has its own rules on what you can and can not do when it comes to feeding or food plots. Sit in a tree for hours on end and hope a deer comes with in 30 yards or so and be able to hit it with a bow and arrow. That is far from bush league my friend. What is bush league/cheap is when people hunt on a game farm. If he is like most people that hunt here in WI we eat what we kill. So again this is far from a cheap/bush league hunter.

Congrats again on your great buck!

That is actually a 2 1/2 yr old buck. This deer has an asterisk next to it. I harvested it on a game farm that I was fortunate enough to visit. I know it wasn't shot out in the wild, but I was not about to pass up the opportunity. I tell everyone that asks, where it came from. I don't try to hide it.

I really like the scene, Cole. My only comment is that I would like to see his head propped up a bit, but I don't know if that would have caused you to disrupt the snow which may have taken away from the picture?
He looks like a beautiful buck, congratulations.

--I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to disrupt the snow. Was trying to capture that moment, when you walk up on your harvest, that precise moment when you walk upon it. Thanks for the comment.

Great Buck Scpictaker..It must be nice to have the opportunity there in Wis... Between Wis, Ohio, Kansas, and Iowa it doesn't get much better for Whitetail.
My Colorado does ok

He's a beautiful buck, congratulations on the harvest.

Well here in southern wis baiting and feeding deer is strictly prohibited due to CWD. I hunt 100% fair chase. Shot my buck at under 10 yards after hunting 48 days straight waiting for a shooter. Thanks for the kind comments!! No luck this year so far btw.

Great buck! Congrats on a nice harvest! And you shot it with a Mathews!
