Well, as addicted to this site as I am, I must admit I’ve not been on much lately due to deer season being open here in Illinois. We’ve been chasing a giant for last few years and my oldest son (13) finally connected on him during youth season. I wanted to share with you all in his success. Can’t give out all the details yet as a couple of magazines are wanting to do an article on him. More details will be provided as soon as we are given the green light. To say he is on cloud nine is an understatement. And I couldn’t be more proud of him!

Beautiful buck, way to go dad!
 
Great deer, you guys did well. He'll be hunting a long time trying to beat that one.

Honestly I was afraid of that also. But in the days since it has driven him more. He has drug his bow out and started practicing like crazy. His goal now is to harvest a deer with it. He has plenty under his belt with gun and a few with crossbow. Now he’s big enough to draw back good poundage with his compound he is itching to make it more challenging.
 
WOW! Congrats all around!
 
Dang, that is a fine deer for sure. Congrats to you dad for getting him out there. Fun times and great memories. (y)
 
Wow, what a great buck! Congrats to your son!!
 
Deer or 10 lifetimes! Well done to the young man
 
Congrats to your son on a tremendous deer. Don’t get much better than that. Appreciate you sharing it with us.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
