Why Kentucky?

The old buck that got me started going to Kentucky. 

(The Rare Breed Buck)

killed by Tim Bond

Pictures of this buck Tim killed in the 1970's had me ready to pack my bags.  This is a huge 10 pt buck.  The tines are 10" to 12" long, it's hard to tell in this cell phone picture.  In a turn of luck we are now hunitng a lease 35 years later on the same hill where Tim killed this deer.  Tim was amazed when we went to view the land and he realized we would be hunting a few hundred yards from where he killed this deer so many years ago.

It's amazing that some of the deer we kill on this lease and in this area have some of the traits shown in this old bucks rack.

I killed this buck in 2011 and his tines look a lot like the old buck's.  Maybe he has a few more relatives hiding on the side of the hill to pass the blood line to future generations
