As some of you may remember last Nebraska rifle season I added a thread of my son\'s last day rifle buck. The stars aligned again yesterday afternoon for my son Kenny and this bruiser of a buck followed two does out of the timber of the family farm pasture 75 yards from my son and I. His first shot was a broadside standing shot that I thought connected well and the second he took (at the fleeing buck) wasn\'t even close!!! Thankfully the first was perfectly placed and after a 50 yard burst from the buck my son and I walked up on the largest whitetail ever taken off of the century old farm. The raw excitement and unbounded joy that Kenny showed absolutely made my season. I\'m not one for scores but think the buck is in the 160\'s area give or take. The buck does have a right side with a regular 5 points and a left side with a couple in lines and a forked brow leaves the left side with 8 points, lots of character, good mass and like last years buck that Kenny got a 23 inch spread too boot.
I just need to figure out a photoshop editing technique or find an ap to fix the eye\'s closed on this my favorite pic. Thanks for looking, Kevin.
 
That buck will EASILY gross 160\'s , possibly even more if that\'s a 23\" spread. Very impressive buck! Must be the kids name. :angle: :clap:
 
Thanks Kenny, the check station measured the spread for their records so we do know it\'s 23 inches. Nebraska is one heck of a state and to offer $7.00 youth tags (for non residents as well) is an outstanding deal. Kevin.

Yep! I have hunted Nebraska since 2006 with the exception of last two years as I have been chasing elk. I took my son out after he turned 10 and he shot a beautiful 8 pt during the 2010 season. I love hunting that state. Some of the best archery bucks ive taken have been in that state.
 
Kenny and I have been on some awesome hunts together but this one on the family farm I will cherish forever.Thanks again everyone, Kevin.
