I grew up in Alabama, so I feel your pain. The deer didn't get very big down there either. I was spoiled in the 22 yrs I lived in Illinois. I had 3 great farms I could hunt. I harvested 4 deer that weighed over 200# field dressed.
Here is a pic of one of them. He was only 2 1/2 yrs old! Just an 8 pointer but a real bruiser.

Bob that is one nice deer! LOL if we get one down here in South Missouri like that we have to catch him in North Missouri then haul him down here and shoot him.

Did you take a look at what mom and dads, neighbors daughter inlaw got a couple of years ago? She got it about a quarter mile from one of my deer stands. I posted the link:

Trophy Whitetail Missouri Deer

Scoring 161 3/8 inches as a Boone and Crockett typical 8 pointer.

Normally for Hickory County if you get a deer that field dresses in the 150 to160 pound range you have a big deer for the area. Normally up in Benton County around Truman lake the deer are larger.

That is a monster for sure, Dan. Very impressive.

Those are some nice deer guys, thats my whole goal in life is to take a monster buck and a 3lb crappie. It may never happen but I'm going to have fun trying.:D I just seen a doe this evening I guess he has to wait till Thursday when I'm off work again.

nice rack on a medium body, that's another year in the making, but after sitting in a tree all morning/day, easier said than done.

good luck to all and safe hunting.

nice buck

Here's mine from last year. About as good as I have been able to do down here in southern Missouri hunting on public land. Oh, how I wish for some private land. As you can see I've still had the pins in it working on it when I took this picture.

Those are some nice bucks! I did not take one last year since I was only hunting one buck and he never showed while I was in my stand but he sure left his sign when I wasn't maybe this year I will get him.

Nice deer Chris! WoW! Looks like someone did a nice job mounting him for you! Where did you have him done at?

Yeah Bob wouldn't you know it that the neighbors daughter inlaw got him! I am always a day late and a dollar short!

Thats why I am working more on Crappie Fishing, I feel like I have a better chance in scoring a large one now that I am fishing Truman.
