Super deer!    Congrats Gene! I met you briefly several years ago when you were promoting your book "Hunting  Rutting Whitetails"

I still have the copy you signed for me.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I think that one impressed Barry so much he put his hat on straight  

Congratulations on an awesome deer!  Maybe it's time to go to "boot camp"

Bryan

Totally Awesome!

OH MY LORD, what a deer!!! Congrats.

Danny

Sweet ! Nice when good things happen to good people. Thanks for sharing

P.S. Barry, you mentioned you had videoed him several times prior to the kill. sure would be cool to see that footage here. If you're willing, I'm sure Admin. can get it up and running

wow......WOW.

Congratulations to Barry and Gene, and also to Jason for takin' the pass.  Obviously a GREAT day for all of you !

Did you age him ?  I'd be real interested in how old he was.  Love the rack...lots of character, some trash with sophistication sorta.  I especially like the forked tines.

It looked like you were holding a Morrison, but wasn't sure.

Again, congratulations....a very special day for all of you I'm sure !

God Bless.

Way to go guys. What a beauty. Even more awesome than the buck is the relationship you guys have. Makes me wish I had a brother. All the best in the new year. Denny

Wow,what a monster,congratulations and well done!

What a fantastic buck WOW  What a great way to end the year.  Thanks for showing the picture.  Congratulations and very Happy New Year.    Mike

I agree with Denny, coolest thing about that success is you shared it together. Makes it even that much more of an accomplishment in my book.

Now, if we could only figure out how to download all the stuff you guys know to the rest of our pea brains....we wouldn't havta worry about deer population control.

Is that an Iowa deer?  Been thinking of moving anyway.  It would be easier to teach the kids to spell Iowa that Tennessee.

After 5 pages I dont know what more to add!!!!!

But Gene and Barry have had a huge influence on me, more than they'll ever know. After being around them for more than 20 years they long ago stopped amazing me...I kinda expect it out of em each year BUT that buck...whew  

I'm tickled for you both.  That is one dandy buck.  Hope to read and see more of him in the future.

You two are something else.  

....double lunged his wife...lol
thats funny. i didnt know bucks got that big!

Magnifico Gene & Barry! Are you bringing that one to the Kzoo show? Would like to see that rack up close.
Denny Sturgis Jr, I've seen some of the results of your hunts as well, and I'm volunteering to be your adopted brother. The camaraderie and the hunts we will share...  :D   just like real brothers!

Looks like ya got'er done

Looking forward to the article when it gets written. Is this an Iowa buck? When ya going to put a tape on it?

I'M speechless...  

Nice buck Gene and thanks for the post Barry. Gotta get you two up here for a hunt!

Did ya see any big ones while you were out?
