Congrats Phillip, fine looking buck. And holy smokes was he ever a fat one! You putting jelly doughnuts out in your feeder or what?

Hey Mike, he sure is got a layer of Fat don’t he ! Love the jelly doughnuts comment . Maybe Philip is got the secret ingredient for the elusive whitetail “ jelly Doughnuts “ . The ones we harvested this year didn’t have near that much of a fat layer but had been thru the rut .It’ll be interesting to see what the rest of winter brings for Florida and up here . That Buck wasn’t in the rut yet though ,don’t believe,and that’ll burn a lot of fat off . Big bodied deer overall .

Nice buck Phil, congratulations on the kill. I will have to say that is the most fat on a whitetail I have ever seen. I bet it was a job cutting it all away for aging. OH

Had a nice warm day today, 65 degrees and had a lady to stay with our daughter, so the wife and I took a walk in the Croatan National Forest, just a short trail near where we live (a few miles walk). Had a nice time checking out the ponds and pocosins along the trail. There are some Long Leaf Pines growing wild in the forest, most woods I hunt are Yellow Pine nowadays. A Buck Vantage makes a good trail knife, but I didn’t have to cut anything. OH

Thanks John! We have some nice outdoor recreational opportunities very close by - wife and I were laughing at ourselves for living here 4-1/2 years and we just today took this easy hike! By the way, I saw your remark about your Grail Knife. Not sure how hard they are to find now, but I used to see them on eBay and on the exchange here from time to time. There is also a 6175 from 2002 in jigged Antique bone, real nice looking when I saw one ten years or so ago. OH

Ps. Not to give the idea we sit around and do nothing, yesterday was nice too, so we went Kayaking in the creeks around our subdivision. I have a few pictures of my wife in her blue/white kayak and the front of my orange/yellow kayak (taken before she flipped her yak!). We always wear PFD’s and we got her up a neighbors boat dock - she went home and left me with two kayaks to get home, but another neighbor came out and insisted on helping me so it worked out fine. That was a first for either of us, but we know it can and will happen now. OH
