I call it the 10 speed buck, reminds me of the old 10 speed bikes I rode with the handlebars that curl around..
what a great buck,, lots of junk on it.

That buck does look like he would be easy to ride. Nice drop tines.

Nice buck Jon.  It's funny, there was a specific buck on a farm in Illinois we were hunting years ago with drop tines like that, we named him "Handlebars".

Nice buck. The hat I say gives no string interference at full draw.

Thanks alot guys!  Funny, everyone has been giving me hell about that hat!  It's just a regular old stormy kromer type hat.  I just have it on backwards because even the short bill on that hat gets in the way of my bowstring when I anchor.  People say I look like a terrorist!  
Anyway, I shot that buck very early this season with a Habu recurve.  The full story is on this site titled "Catfish hunter before & After pics big buck".
I'm still smiling about it!

Allright, allright guys....I get it....the hat is ugly!  I'll try to turn it around and see if I can shoot with it that way. HA!  Man, I never knew that traditional archery participants were so up on the latest fashions!  Thanks guys.

Osage tree, believe it or not, I have seen two bucks in my life with double droptines.  The first one was like 6 or 7 years ago....I was doing a little scouting in an area I don't hunt much during season.  I remember it was the day before the dreaded gun season here.  A MONSTER buck with double droptines walked by me unaware at under 15 yards while I stood helpless behind an old cypress stump with my bow in the truck!  Bummer!  When I first saw catfish hunter in July, I instantly remembered that deer.  I don't know which one was bigger, but I know the first one I saw had more points, but they were not as long.  
The story of catfish hunter is much more satisfying anyway, since I first saw him in July, then got a camtracker picture in August, and then killed him in early October.  How often does that happen?!

Also, I will have you guys know, that the ugly hat I'm wearing also served me pretty good in Africa!     This is minus a picture of a beautiful red heartabeast I also took.  By the way, each and every person on this website needs to go to Africa.  It took me nearly 7 years to save up for it, since I am an overeducated college grad. working as a union laborer, but it was WORTH IT! I'm already planing my return!    (http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n132/jonsimoneau/7-26-2006-01.jpg)   (http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n132/jonsimoneau/kudugrandma.jpg)

By the way, that shot on the Kudu was a little low.  You can see it there, just behind the first stripe. You WILL Get rattled when you have a Kudu come into bow range! GO TO AFRICA!
