    Shackleford Cnty Pixels

    Got to spend the weekend on our annual Shackleford Cnty hunt this past weekend and played with the camera around the SWEET cookshack. The pictures of the bucks are just pics I took on the TV while replaying video that I took from the stand on each hunt. I am no proffesional and only have kit lenses, but I thought some of the cookshack pics turned out well.

    These first pics are of the cookshack and fireplace area outside the ranchhouse.

    This first buck was one of the prettiest 3yr old bucks I have ever seen in the wild. Typical 11 point with long main beams and a busted G3 on his right side. I will be looking for this buck over the next couple of seasons in hopes of getting an opportunity at him once he matures a little

    This next buck had a lot of charecter, but looked to be just a 3yr old as well. He was a main frame 8 pt with matching kickers on each G2 and a split on the end of his left G3.

    This last buck was a buck that I probably should have shot, but knowing that I was going to hunt again the next morning and seeing how much activity this stand was producing in the mornings, I decided to let him pass. I can honestly say that I wish I would have shot him looking back on it now. He was a brute of an 8 point, and although you can't tell in these pics, he did not have a G2 or G3 on his head under 10" long and would have been a 130" 8 point and looked REAL good in our new trophy room european mounted on a Texas Wild Wood stand!

              this place is not leased or commercially hunted Shane - Just 7500 acres of awesomeness only hunted by family and freinds. The cook shack has really added an extra level of "deer camp" feel to this place. About the only time we have to be inside the ranch house now is to sleep.
