RE: Monster Va. Buck
Also, there was like 5,000 car accidents in the small county of Fairfax,Va. Its mostly urban, bow only, back yard hunting. These are the counties were we really need to increases the deer harvest and if it helps get people in the woods I'm all for it!
Big Buck Dave
P.S. I would be more concerned about some statesbaiting laws, this causes CWD and takes the wild out of the hunt!!!

Congrats on the great buck.
I don't want to come off preachy, and this ismore of a general comment, than directed specifically at you,but one statement bothered me a little. "but since then have hit, but not recovered 4 or 5 luckily nothing big"
Bad hits happen, but you should never feel good about it just because it wasn't a big one. If it's good enough to release the arrow, it's good enough to do everything you can to find the animal. You won't always get 'em, but th effort should always be there.
Speaking of Fairfax County, this was my buck from Fairfax last year. Don't discount those little suburban woodlots!

RE: Monster Va. Buck
I just got back. I had two doe under me this evening. I started back for the truck and a big deer(could'nt see rack, to dark) with its head held low walked from the woods to this shoulder high mullet/weed combination!
Here's his majesty, my awesome eight point from yesterday. What do you guys think? Notice how thick his neck is and man he was stinky!
Thanks and Good Luck,
Dave
