VERY NICE BUCK!!!!!!! I am interested what he will score after he is "dried out". My uncle killed a 140 class buck saturday morning. Again, very nice buck. How far was he? What caliber of rifle? How far did he run? What time of day? Weather conditions(Sorry...just very anal about details)

Great looking buck Pennyless. It has to go on the wall. Lots of character. It is similar to the 14 pt I took the next to last day of the season this year. It had the extra kickers and one tine that almost paddled at the tip.

Big deer like that are hard to find so enjoy the experience and bragging rights.

I had great success this year for deer season. I shot a large buck in north central Missouri. It has 12 points though I call it a heavy 8 point with 4 small tines. The small tines are over 1" so it is officially a 12 point. The antlers at the base are over 6" around and it has an 18" inside spread according to the taxidermist that I took it to. There are a couple of pictures in my gallery.

Not a far shot only about 50 yards through the brush. I shot him through a preplanned hole in the brush along a heavy trail. He was following a doe down the trail. I shot him at 9:20 am with a 3006 180 grain silvertip bullet. ( my favorite ) He dropped on the spot. Shot was traveling down through the bottom of his shoulders took out the top of his heart. Overcast about 25 degrees. Field dressed at 168 pounds. Not a real large animal just a very heavy rack. My buddy shot a seven point with not as big a rack but it field dressed at 212 pounds.

Great buck. I hope to get out this weekend for blackpowder season. I had to show my wife the pictures of your daughter in the mud. She looks like she was having a blast. I remember the days when my kids were young and would go with me to play. Enjoy them days while you have them.

Great bucks guys !! Pennyless that is an impressive rack. Mine wasn't that big, but the deer was 195 lbs field dressed. I haven't went out much with the muzzleloader since I can only shoot does. We have a lot of does around home and I can actually take two on my current license and buy two more tags, but I don't need anymore meat. I could donate it to the food shelf I suppose and the DNR does want to reduce the deer herd some. I was just driving down the road by my house the other day and there were 30 plus deer in the field and they all looked like does so there are deer around. I don't mind shooting does, but it just isn't as much fun when I can't shoot a buck if I choose to.

Very nice buck! That would be going on my wall. I killed a decent 6 with my bow that was 16" wide, just didnt have any brow tines/eye gaurds. My son killed a lil 7pnt during youth season. I killed a 9pnt opening weekend here in east central Mo. I put it in my pics, but they need approved, so if you come back later, check it out. Oh, I think there might be one of my sons first deer in there too. It was an 8pnt and he was only 7. BR>
Good luck to the rest of you!
