Congrats on two very nice bucks. What happened to your ram rod?
Alot of folks remove their ramrod while hanging-out waiting for the deer to show up. The more you shoot it with the ramrod in - the faster the slot that keeps it snug wears & loosens the grip tension.... especially in sidelocks like my Renegades. Recoil is to blame!

One heck of a buck! Great shooting. It is really awesome to hear the roar and see the smoke when they go off. Did you have far to drag him? It looks like it would take a while to get him home? He's going to look nice on the wall.

Great buck, anyone know if that is the Omega X7. I have been looking at them, but haven't seen or read to many reviews???

Great deer. I bet he nets 150 as an 8 pointer. Something special. Congratulations.

I looked at the pictures again and and amazed at the mass of these deer. Look at the amount of lumber embedded in the bases of both deer pictured. Both were tearing up some trees. Bet it wasan impressive scape line. The second deer is also beautiful, very heavy mass. Wish it snowed in Texas like that. That looks like fun. We got 1-3 inches in the north part of that state last week but nothing pretty like you guys hunted in.

Thanks guys
I left my rod in my blind after I reloaded and ran out to see him. It was -15F, if he had that other 4th he would net right at book. He stillgoes over 160 thou, he has a big thick 5+"frame with 27 mb and 13+ G2.

Here he is two weeks earlier, these northern bucks look so cool in their prime! I took this with a point and shoot digtal on video mode thru my spotter so it's not the best but you get the idea!

It's an omega by the way, thanks again!

that's awesome you have him on video and got him. I've got the trail cam pics of the buck I shot this year and I'll tell you what I was jacked up. You're buck is a hell of a lot bigger than mine. Wow what an awesome deer, that looks like the kind of conditions that I LOVE TO HUNT! I love hunting in the snow more than any other time. Once again a big congrats to ya. Awesome Awesome buck man!
