I have an idea he'll make the B&C book. I just took a crappy photo off the guy's phone.

I’d measure him as dang big. Congrats to the hunter eel. Post the inches when you have them……… please.
 
I'm sorry but I agree with you that he might not have an idea what he killed. He took 2 pics of that deer from the roll on his phone in the bottom pic. I would have pics of every angle of that deer along with my big ass smile. Maybe the hunter doesn't care. Is he an old guy, eel?
 
I showed the photos to our local B&C measurer, and he said it should score well. He only goes by official measurements and wouldn't offer a guess. He said he heard of quite a few big bucks that were killed opening weekend despite the hot weather and the moon phase.
 
It really doesn’t matter where. There’s deer like that in every B zone, crafty little buggers.
Very true. If this was my buck I would gladly say where but I'm not sure how he would feel, so I won't. There is still a lot of hunting season left and he will probably want to go back up there.

I've also heard of a couple monsters taken in the Yollo Bollys.

We hunted just south of there growing up. Only did a few hunts near the coast.
 
Do you have to crank the handle at your house to make a phone call?? Sheesh, eel...it's 2024!!

I will have you know that Eel does not use a hand crank phone on the wall. He is still using a tin can and string for his communications.

There has been some big ones killed this year.

Friend of mine showed me pics of his buck he shot Saturday over 24 inch wide 4x4 public land buck. Won't score well, to crabby but an OLD buck.

Also showed me a pic of his son in law's 23" 4x4 that should score in the 140 range.

I'd post pics but I can't figure out how to get my Motorola bag phone to take them.

Oh and I was hunting when he showed me so the bucks came from the same general vicinity I was in which I think was B1 but I was lost and don't have a map...
 
Laugh it up...Eel will have the last laugh. He may not be able to post decent pics but he learned the secret to long life from Methuselah himself...
 
I was skinning out a buck I killed about 5 years ago at camp and two wardens dropped by to check it out. I wrote B-2 on the tag and when he asked where I killed it I told him where and he said that was in B-1. They just laughed it off though. Oops! 😄.

He probably won't make the book.:unsure: I made a nice running shot on him though.

The last thing he said to me as they drove off was "You really shouldn't be out here by yourself at your age." Lately I've been thinking about that.
