Well, I'm not being first, with this group. I don't think I could handle the pointing and laughing.

Im in the same boat as you. Jackalopes have bigger antlers than most of my deer.

My only goat


and I trumped my best bear last spring.

That's the spot.

She killed hers last evening of the hunt after hoping a monster would show himself. Pretty sure she had her pick of 32 when she killed hers.

Some great animals you all! But, I have had more fun looking at this thread seeing the aging process on some of you and being able to put a face on your log-in. Damn, a couple of you look as old as me, but won't name names

I think some Hunt Talkers topped their personal bests in the 2012 season. Look forward to seeing some of those posted here.

Shot a couple hundred yards from where I shot my previous best. 268 yards with .270. Don't know what he scores but was a tad over 14".
