I think when you meet Quint for the first time at the council meeting is one of the best scenes too.

Jaws- that's a 20 footer....25

Went on Wednesday. We missed the bite by a couple hours but had non stop action on shorts with some keepers mixed in. Fishing the jig is simply awesome..these fish fight so hard and to have a spinning rod bent in half trying to pull these fish out of the rocks is just badass.

For the past 3 years I have worked on a non-hunting property in Monmouth County. There are some of the biggest NJ bucks on this property. I have taken many photos of some unique deer and followed their behavior trying to figure out these mysterious animals. Some people have seen my pictures and told me to sneak on and hunt which I could have done a thousand times over and had many "wall hangers." Although it crossed my mind and getting a deer of a lifetime, I knew deep down I would never appreciate it and enjoyed just watching them over this time. The deer in this picture is by far the king of the castle. He is the largest and most mature buck on the property and have only seen him 4 times over the course of 3 years. Today, I saw him walking middle of the day without a care in the world. Funny thing was aside from seeing him for only the 5th time, he only had 1 of his antlers. I thought to myself, wow what a trophy would it be to have this antler fall off right in front of me and have such a trophy! Sure enough, he trotted about 50 yards after being spooked by my car and saw his lonely antler had fallen off! I walked the line between he an I and found the massive antler on the ground. Must have hit a tree branch and fell off. I got lucky to say the least. Wish I was able to find the other one but I wont be greedy. Let's just say, Its going to be hard to ever see a wild animal as big as this and to have physical evidence of same. Pics dont do it justice. Would like to have some of the pros on here give a round about score on this guy. Hope you all enjoy the pics and the read. Merry xmas to all and a happy and healthy new year.

Quint is my new Silver Lab who is almost 8 months. Loves to run and swim. Tons of energy. Has potential to be a bird dog just don't have the time. Maybe try to shed hunt this winter.

Nice...I took this one in person the other day. Biggest deer I have seen in person.

Today was my fault. Was sitting on the phone. By time I saw him grabbed the bow and stood up I was beat.

Got busted in the tree again but another nice buck just now. Damn I suck

I would think my hunt is over since that buck snorted at me but going to stick it out a while longer. They're cruising today and maybe one comes from the other direction

Just got busted by a shooter. 60 yrds out he winded me. Damn they are smart

Had a big buck cruising 80 yards away behind doe and fawn. Females came in by the buck kept going on his merry way of course....

Looks like an old deer. White around the eyes, long brow tines. Only 7 pts but I like his unique rack.

Couple from this past week . Hoping they slip up again tomorrow morning!

Doe and her fawn getting harassed my small 4pt since daylight. Nothing bigger yet

Will be out in morning
