Here's my biggest buck to date taken with traditional gear, a fat 6-point taken in Summers county. I got him yesterday morning on opening day here in WV. Not a record book buck by any stretch of the imagination, but a trophy in my book - and he was surprisingly big-bodied (bucks in this area of WV aren't that great genetically, this ol'boy didn't have a trace of brow times). Taking this buck with traditional gear made this kill a thousand times more satisfying than a compound or firearm kill.
(A special thanks to my buddy, "Bloodhound" Bobby Graham of G-Strings for the help with the tracking job. Bob can find an eyelash you dropped in the woods two years ago.)

Thanks fellas! For the record, the large branch in the lower right hand corner is there for asthetic reasons, to cover up the field dressing gash. He looked a lot more "stout" when we found him, when he still had all his innards still in him.
that's a good one Al! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I helped drag him for a bit, trust me, he was heavier than he looks. Like I told you before, congrats and he's a great deer.
Good Job!!!

Congrats on a handsome buck.
Here's what this fine buck produced - got to fill up my kitchen floor last night vacuum sealing him up. He'll provide many meals and lots of jerky in the coming months. Told ya he had a lot of meat on him! This isn't counting the 10 2# packages of hamburger, the two roasts, and what I had marinating in the fridge (the sweetmeat and two tenderloins).
