Here is the pic of 8 pt. shot 11/26 and retrieved 11/27. He came into the bean field late in the afternoon with a smaller 8 pt. I did not have much of a shot but squeezed the arrow right into his powerhouse. There is a nicer buck on the property. I hope my dad gets it Monday am.

I am guessing that many of you have heard and/or have seen the pictures and story about my deer . Since 'fatkid' (Matt) had posted pictures and the story on here. I feel that he is just as proud of that deer as I am. Anyway, here is the story . I am a MP in reserve unit out of Youngstown and just got back from Afghanistan were I have spent the last year. Also, over the last few years I was on tours in Iraq and Kuwait as well. This always forced me to miss deer season over the last number of years. While on tour this last time, my buddy 'fatkid' sent me all kinds of deer pics and forwarded this web site for me to browse when I was not working. This helped pass the time in my off duty hours.

In the pics he had sent me I found myself wanting to place my hands around a very special deer that I named Frank the Tank (due to obvious reasons). When I came home for a two week leave last year, I got to hunt the big guy but I never saw him and 'fatkid' did not even get a picture of him all last year after that. Matt ('fatkid') told me not to worry, there are more deer in the area. Come this fall when I got home, he would have a tree stand hung and a food plot ready for me to hunt. So that is what happened. I came home, had some time off before I had to go to work, and this time, I was here for deer season. True to his word, Matt had a food plot growing, and a deer stand waiting for me.

Well Here is the story fatkid relates better coming from his perspective because the hole hr afterwards I was just in shock .

This is the actual hunt day story. There was no calling or rattling ; fortunately all the other bucks were doing that for my buddy. He is the one who actually shot Frank, taken in Stark County, Ohio on Sunday afternoon at 4:15 pm after watching and waiting on Frank the Tank for 45 min. Frank stayed in the brush (as all wise bucks do). Frank was only coming out of the brush to chase a smaller 8 point away from his lady who was feeding in plain site and then right back into the brush never giving Randy a reasonable target. I have been watching/trying to get this buck for 3 years now while my buddy has been over seas fighting . He is a MP doing convoy security . I had sent him a lot of trail cam pictures of this buck and Randy did get to hunt for 2 weak's while he was on leave but never seen him I myself only had seen him once while hunting . This late sept when he got home I told him I had a food plot planted and a tree stand ready for him were old frank the tank was living and told him it was all him he deserved it after serving 2 and a half tours over there . randy said it was crazy watching this guy for that long and not being able to get a shot but finally he came out to check his old ladie out but was head on at 30 yards but just then fate kicked in and the 8 point came back across the crick and frank turned to beat some ass and gave randy a quartering away 30 yard shot . It was a great shot the old boy only went 40 to 50 yards and was done . I was hunting another property but only 5 min away I had just sent Randy a text message that said I had drew first blood on a ground hog that was working on my food plot when my phone vibrated a text message back it said -- " bbd " (BIG BUCK DOWN!). I looked at it and thought he was pissing with me about the groundhog but then the phone went off again. this time it said - I got frank - " I think " So I called Randy. He was shaking so much I couldn't understand him so I knew it was for real. I told him set still I was going to be there in about an hour. I got down , ran home , got the lantern , camera and 2 beers. When I got there Randy was in the tree stand still shaking like a leaf. He started to get down and I asked where was Frank standing when he shot. He told me and as I walked over to the spot , I spotted the white belly and antlers from a short distance. I yelled to Randy - big buck down - right there ! Randy. He replied " don't bullshit me " and I told him I wasn't . I think he took about only 6 steps down out of a 20 foot stand and was running towards me. He was so excited I thought he was going to loose it . He told me he had been shot at , had roadside bombs go off , Rocket propelled grenades shot at him but he was never as nervous as he was when Frank turned side ways to give him that shot.. We were both so happy. Randy really is a great kid and really deserved this deer. It was his first big buck and his first bow kill . We got it dressed out and then worked our asses off to get it back over the crick and to the truck at 215 pounds and an green score of 166 and 5/8 ths we both really enjoyed that beer after words .
