An hour and 15 minutes into my 5-day draw hunt I killed a nice buck.  130 4/8 gross 10-point with an 18.5 inch spread.  They've got some absolute giants out here, but I couldn't pass up a deer of that quality on the off-chance of seeing something better.  I actually saw one that may have been bigger about 30 minutes into the hunt, but couldn't get a shot.  I'll see if I can get TVC to post a picture

TVC is about to post a picture of the buck I watched for an hour tonight at 60 yds. It was painful not being able to shoot him, but there was no way I could pass the one I already got considering there was no guarantee I'd see another deer at all, much less a shooter.  That being said, I've seen 9 bucks, 7 of which were legal shooters, 4 of which were wallhangers, and one of which was by far the biggest buck I've ever seen from a stand. the buck tonight was a gorgeous 10-point.  Not super wide, maybe 16-17 inches (the one I killed was 18.5), but he was very, very tall with good mass.  I'd estimate him between 145-150 inches.  Phenomenal deer.  This week a 159-inch 12-point, a 140-inch 12-point, a 135-inch 8-point, my 130-inch 10-point, a 122-inch 9-point, a 118-inch 8-point, and a 123-inch 9-point have been taken.  My buddy Dan missed a deer he swears would be between 150-160, and he's not prone to exaggeration.  This place is amazing.

    • Whatever happened to educating people so that they don’t go off the deep end pursuing an incident that shouldn’t be political in the first place? Seems everyone is looking for their “trigger”moment. The dumbing down of America has taken its toll. Anyone who would hold this against her is doing so out of spite and for political gain. Said people need to be ignored.
    • You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.
    • Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.  
    • I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.  
    • If only she was as politically savvy as you. 🙂
