A few years ago, my brother I and decided we would start a deer pole in the town where I live. there are not any real good ones around.. .. seems like everyone just hal-asses them. So we talked to a buddy of mine about being host and sponsor (some of you know him "WoJoKhan" on the Cod5 Ftag server), you see.. WoJo owns a fairly large Hardware/General store complete with a walk-in Beer cave... so a real MAN store!
seemed like perfect host... so off we went..
we built a pole from wood, and our first year was a success..
fast forward to 2015..
we built a new and better pole from steel (My brother and I are decent fabricators)
the new pole will accommodate 31 deer.. even more if we double up
this years sponsors donated over $4700 in cash and prizes
it was a huge success
here is a pic from the paper in 2012 (our 2nd year)
and here is our 2015 Harvest!!
if you were wondering.. our local high school is the "Reese Rockets" .. therefore the Rocket Deer Pole
there is a facebook page of course

my favorite pic..
also one of my favorite people..
this is my buddy's kid, Daddy drives a pink semi.. so what better way to deliver her deer than with Daddy's pink truck!
she arrived in style
and won about $200 in prizes for being the youngest successful hunter!
Pretty proud of our little deer pole, so I thought I'd share!
