Why'd he get the name Jerome?

It's just a strange thing I do when I harvest a deer - starting with my second deer. She was a gun harvest, bang/flop, and when I walked up on her, I looked at her face for a few seconds and said "Hello Clara". It just came to me - she was Clara. Then the following year was Rufus and Missy....and when I walked up on this guy, I looked at him and said "Hello Jerome". I don't plan it, it just comes to me. And my first deer, I didn't realize it at the time, but in my mind I ended up referring to him over and over as Bucky, so that's his official name now..

I have always named my deer. I think it's just part of the process. I have a Henry, Oliver, Narbles and soon to be Ghost on the wall but all my doe are called bonita

When you start naming them Jim, Jeff, J and Sam we'll need to talk:smiley_chinrub:

It would have to be a record stud buck to merit one of those names.....

Here's a couple more Jerome pictures. I'd taken them with my phone but had trouble recovering them and moving over to the computer (friggin technology)
