Must be guys night out. No does and no fawns this afternoon. Looks like my program of not shooting the big rack bucks for a few years has paid dividends in improving the gene pool. Of the 5 in the front yard, two are spectacular 8 points - at least spectacular for this area. Tall, wide racks, and I’ll guess at maybe 18 inches inside spread. And they are real young. The wife is sending pics to the oldest grandson, who will be teaching in Spain during this season, and won’t get to hunt. This’ll just kill him...

I love big eight pointers. Probably the most magnificent buck I ever saw was a big eight. But we can only stand so much reading about them, we need pictures.

Dang, guys! I have a good pic of the 5, but I have no idea how to post a picture. But, if it’s simple to do, I’ll try it a bit later. I have tennis at 9, so will have to leave soon.
And I should mention that these bucks probably wouldn’t impress south Texas hunters too much. It’s just that for my location, and a little game management, things have gotten much better than they were some years back. It has taken about 10 years.

Posting pics is not too hard, even I can do it. Use the fifth button above to the right looks like then browse for your file, once found double click it then select that file and save all images. You just uploaded the file to the THF and put the link to its location in your post.

If you take a screen shot of the picture (I know it sounds weird, but it works) and make sure it isn't too big a picture, then you can upload straight form your phone. Just login on your phone, hit the button 5 from the left (it is the upload image button) and browse and find the screen shot of the pic. Add it, save it, and it will show up. Preview the post to make sure it showed up, but it can be pretty simple with an iphone.

I think the OP was just trying to see how many of us he could rile up with this post. There weren't any deer in the yard

Quitshootingyoungbucks will post it for me. Nice of him. Only 4 of the bucks in the picture. Obviously, the two on the left are the ones i’m Talking about.
You guys are a pain, and I need to figure this pic posting business out.
And the tennis went well, and I’ve had some aspirin and now am drinking cold white wine. Tennis again tomorrow at 9.

Note how young they all are. I hope we can keep the big one alive for a few more years.

Is "tennis" your code for hitting balls back and forth with your wife? I can see why some aspirin would be in play for that kind of action I like your speed though, "tennis" every other day, better than most....

I’m chuckling. A little harassment is fine, and expected. As for the tennis, I’m 70 years old, but still able to hit the ball pretty well, though foot speed is only a memory. I hit with a guy that is a Texas tennis hall of fame coach and a 16 year old girl that’s been to State the last 2 years. You might say that it’s a vigorous workout, but I’m able to handle it well. And soon, when school starts up, I’ll be helping younger kids with their tennis game. Physically, it’s good for me and I enjoy it, so it isn’t work at all. I do it all for free. I often wonder how much longer I can do this. I’m a clone of my Dad, and he gave me a good sturdy body, so a few more years should be doable.
