Sal killed her 2nd 8 tonight

Post by ICDEDTURKES »

Here's Sal's 2nd 8 . First I want someone guess his age. I dunno may take to Carl T Johnson tommorow have him aged. Never went to a check station before. All he has is gums and five front teeth
Story: were setting there watching football I man the back window it's knarly and tight. You only have a few seconds. If you read any of my posts you know sal went behind my back asked Dad if we could hunt back there no time clear lanes. He loathes us both
I'm like deer, it's a buck, looks good. Tell her get window open shoot him, she had a shot 90 percent guys would fail on, as she whirls around in an awkward position. She lines up on his neck, bang my dog in blind jumps three feet in air, I watch the buck fall over backwards. Sal stays on area for 10 minutes. We go out it's dead right there, Perfect neck shot. I've watched her kill a billion turkeys in awkward positions. Honestly she's the best hunter I've hunted with a killer and thats with guiding.
I go up house take dog up, dad's like you shot 30 minutes ago and welled up. Outside KS biggest body buck I've drug. Broke rope on jet sled three times, forgot how much I hate draggin deer through that tag alder muck hole.

Congrats to her. Nice buck.

Nice buck! Have no clue how old. His antlers really don’t give anything away? Bases aren’t huge. Doesn’t appear to be white faced or extraordinarily old.
Bad dental plan for sure!
Congrats to Sal!

Lol on dental professional
it's weird not sure nutrition or genetics all of our deer never get mass. I've seen alot of 3 and 4 year olds dad has shot, I have friends as well . Trail cam pics never mass. Gotta be nutrition
Honestly longest snout I've seen since Kansas

Nice bucks & Congrats to Sal.

Deer don't have top front teeth. It's a cartilage pad on top. They cut grasses and pick up nuts with their bottom teeth forced against the pad. You'll be able to age it better by checking the molars.

This is the jaw from the buck that my brother in-law shot this year. It really shows the no teeth deal! The jaw was totally deformed and about 2” back from the upper jaw. He said that a few of the bottom front teeth were knocked out from a recent fight.

From the look of those pictures I would say he's as old as he's going to get.

congrats on a nice buck

Congrats to Sal. I was told that the long nose and short jaw is a sign of close genetics/ in breeding. See it a lot in N.Y were the populations are un-huntable.

Could be, I guess. That deer was shot in south central Iowa. He’s got a bum chin but his rack is definitely not inferior! Maybe his ma and pa were related but it’s certainly free range and heavily hunted.
Don’t really know if a buck knows if he’s banging his Mom or sister, or not!
:dontknow: :lol:

That’s pretty much what my BIL said when he saw the several missing lower teeth! :LMAO: :LMAO:
