Very nice Ron, congratulations, and aren't you glad you waited a few minutes longer.

Hey R-D, that is one pretty rack. Congrats!
Sure would be a waste if it doesn't go on the wall! Hope that's where it's headed.

Nice buck.. Congrats on the kill.
Congratulations on that buck. Most deer hunters hunt their whole life without killing a deer that good.
nice buck. i like to see deer reports too..shane3430
Thanks all. He definitely got the ole heart pumpin. I have pics of two more bucks that are quite a bit bigger than this one. Of course they arent coming out until after midnight. But in a couple weeks he will be eyeing the girls so maybe I'll see him then.
Niiiice buck, RD. Must be coming out of that nocturnal phase?
Don't guess there's a chance of me getting that tail, eh? :D
Ah, well...I like pics of yours better anyhow.

Ha nope the tails mine! It and some saddles will be taking a red bath here pretty soon. Running low on red and I'll be needing some for the bleeding shad.
greeeeeeeeeeeedy. AND red ain't no good no how. if u'dn said blue or orange, I'd've let it pass!
While I'm pickin', gimme a run down on how you prep/tan your tails...when you get some time. I've been just using salt and it seems to make the hide portion brittle and break apart. Bought some Borax this eve but still not sure how it'll work.

Dang man you already dying stuff! At this rate you're going to be ate up with it worse than I am. Borax on the tails is the way to go. For the dye go with an acid bath dye. It will hold the color better than dyes made for fabric. I use Prowash and like it. Heres some I just did. These dyed badger saddles are becoming my favorite hackle, the black lateral line makes a killer jig.
