2017 Ohio Big Buck banquet

[Bigslam51]

Had a good time this evening at the banquet, my buddy Ron rode along with the wife and I. We met up with my cousin's husband there and his dad who is my taxidermist. Lots of big bucks to look at. We didn't get there til 3:30 so unfortunately we missed tonks hour long "state of the state" speech[emoji23] . Ron and I both took our bucks to display on the wall.

The food was pretty good. They served Parmesan chicken, Salisbury steak, mashed taters, and green beans. It was fun to experience, can't say I'd go back again or not if I'm ever lucky enough to kill another one. Anyway, here's a few pics of some giant bucks.

One thing that surprised me was that there wasn't but a couple bucks besides mine with early season coats. And the buck that is directly behind and above me in the pic was a hog! I talked to the guy that killed it, 172 net with 42" of mass, bases were 7", and the beams were like fuggin baseball bats. That was an Athens county buck, said he was 8 or 9 years old.

Well the pink one doesn't represent TOO, all it says is 10k post club. You just wanted me to wear it because it's pink, asshole[emoji23] .

Nice pics! Thanks for posting them. Are those from last season? How does that work?

Deer killed must have a 60 day drying period to be scored. You can have a deer scored from years past, but you will wait until the next banquet to get your certificate. That is if you go to the banquet or not. If you don't show, they mail it to you. When the official scorer is finished, you do get to keep the score sheet he used to measure on.

Nice pic's Chad! Glad you got to go and experience it. Neat to see all those mounts along with the score and county taken.

Looks like they had some really nice bucks there Chad.
Congrats on your buck getting entered!

Most are from last season, there was a couple from seasons before that people just got scored within the last year.

What's amazing is how much difference 10" of antler is. Looking at it on a ruler it doesn't look like much but when you add or subtract it from let's say a 140" deer it is stands out like Chad BigSlam51 at a midget convention!rotflmao
