VA coal mine country bucks

[jvanhoy]

Had a great morning in a very special place - my late grandfather’s farm in Buchanan Co, VA. It’s rough steep coal mine country. Had some great times there over the years. Doubled up on some mountain 8pts. Very blessed!
My buddy Joseph’s

Exactly what came to mind

He’s a gentle giant for sure. This is my favorite pic with him. I damn near killed him one time in CO on my first elk pack out. He’s a trooper for sure though! Great dude.

I like how he tied those front legs over the bucks head. Never tried that but I hope I remember to next time I'm dragging one.

It makes a big difference.

I think that buck may have died of fright!

Good stuff there @jvanhoy congrats!

Congrats to you guys. I’m in Eastern KY so you were just up the road from me. Good looking deer and that’s some hard country for sure.

We pulled the card from a camera we had out and this dude was in there the morning before. Taking my son back over Thursday after him.
