Way to go!!!!! Nice deer, I have yet to get one with my crossbow, need to get eglin permit, got my crossbow disability permit!!!!

Yeah,I was gonna say --> if you consider this a "small Eglin buck" you must be used to huntin' Iowa or Missouri.

IMO a "normal","average" sized NW Fla buck will be about 95-105lbs. A 168 is freakin' HUGE. I shot a 175lb buck several years ago that I believe is still the heaviest that our club has ever taken. It is nothing to see a full grown,mature buck the comes in at 90lbs. (My club is in the Molino area.)

Congratz on that bruiser. --- SAWMAN

AND ---> Uhhhhhhh........ you do not need a permit to shoot a crossbow anymore ......... go back to fishin' and leave them deer to me.

Now if I can just get you to let me come up there and drop me a pig I'd be totally painted pink

If you have your disabled permit it only cost a buck lol dollar that is to get Eglin permit

funny you should say that, one of our non hog hunting members had this on his cam as he was parked 100 yds away on the road clearly visible to them. Today 2PM I saw the same hogs on a roll barrel on another members plot. I slammed the door, scoped them, called w a grunt tube, then yelled at them 125 yds away and they never looked up...it was just too funny

 

[Emcm2]

Omg I wish we could but feeders up in Eglin pics like that give me shivers lol what I wouldn't do to see that many hogs in one area

That's a great deer there! Glad you got one on Eglin.
