It looks like the big bucks are on the move in Mississippi! My good friend Ray over a 2X-Treme Designs sent me some pictures of a big deer he took the other day. It is one of the biggest he has ever harvested and it’s a nice one. He also sent me a picture of his son J.R.’s first deer.
J.R. harvested his first deer in Mississippi on January 9,2009.Congratulations J.R.!
Congratulations J.R. on your first deer! Dad just had to wipe the blood on your face didn’t he. That’s all right my dad did the same thing to me when I got my first deer.
It is always great to see kids hunting and enjoying the great outdoors. Ray said he has seen several big bucks.
Big bucks like this one Ray harvested in Mississippi on January 8,2009 are more likely to make a mistake during the whitetail rut.
It is always fun to hunt big bucks during the whitetail rut. The best time to harvest mature big bucks is during the whitetail rut. The whitetail rut is different in Mississippi than it is in Georgia, it is just now peaking in Mississippi. I never could figure out what makes them rut much later there than here in Georgia.
Ray killed his buck on January 8, 2009 it is his biggest buck to date and he took it on the same date that he took his first whitetail ever. It sounds like January 8th is Rays lucky day. He used a Quaker Boy Doe Bleat to call the buck in and made a neck shot at about 100 yards and dropped him right in his tracks. Ray said he didn’t realize how big he was until he got over to him. The buck has an 18″ inside spread with 6″ bases and was 6 1/2 years old. Ray took his buck on the 8th and his son J.R. took his first whitetail on the very next day January 9th. That had to be very exciting for Ray and J.R. great job guys!

Great to see a kid that enjoys hunting. Congrats on your first buck J.R. And congrats to Ray too. The blood thing is definitely a Rite of Passage.
Thanks for the link to the design site. A good resource to have.

Thanks for stopping by Dayne and Rick! It is always good to see youngens getting involved in the outdoors. I don’t think youngens is an actual word but man it’s fun to say.
