Jeremy's Buck!

Jeremy went gun hunting in Wisconsin on Saturday and shot a nice 7 point buck! It would have been an 8 pointer except it was missing a brow tine from a fight it had been in. Either way, it's a nice buck! In comparison with all of this other racks, this is definetly the second largest. Not quit big enough to be mounted though. His biggest deer, which has been named "Blake," is on our basement wall and the agreement was that the next one to be mounted has to be bigger than Blake. Maybe next year babe :)

Maple didn't get hunting with him, she stayed home with me, but she did get the see the deer when he brought it home. It's always so funny to watch her react to different things and if either of us were to move the deer head around she wouldn't get close to it! Too funny.

Here are a few pictures of his deer and a scrapbook page I made with the pictures.

Here is his story of the hunt which I used for the scripting: It was around noon and two deer came into the swamp near Jeremy's stand. A doe came out of the swamp followed by a buck that was being blocked by a tree. As the doe began to walk away, the buck came closer allowing Jeremy to take a shot. He missed with the first two shots but the buck stopped in the brush allowing another him to take another shot. He knew he hit him them but he ran out and stopped in front of him. So he shot at him again but he took a few more steps so he shot one last time. Not knowing where or how good he had hit him, he watched him trot down and fall over in the water. He quickly climbed down and went over to where he watched it fall. When he got over there all he could see was horns and one hind quarter as the rest of the deer was submerged in water. After pulling the deer out, Jeremy was able to show off his 7 point buck!
