not the biggest..but to good to let walk by

little high but got both lungs with the down ward angle
felt good & found him after leaving him for 1/2 hour
good blood & found him within 60 yards.

He`s  a beautiful buck congrats Monty.

I don't think there's too many people that would pass on that big fella. What a beauty. Congrats.

Good luck, be safe and shoot straight

Real nice buck. Are all your bucks that big and bigger?

thanks guys
its a great buck...but i was holding out for a bigger.
One in particular that is massive  we have seen him off & on.
The "dear" is my GF.....one of my cook's for bear camp....she love the outdoors.
& yes that is the "average" buck that i harvest....but we have bucks harvested that hasn't reached that maturity yet....every person has to make decision on what is "trophy" & then have the will power to let smaller walk past. To each there own.
 

True Monty, to ea his own and the trophy class is in the hunters hands. Quality mgmt is done by the property mgrs and the rest is up to the hunter. Any deer to me taken with my stick and string is a trophy in it's own right. Especially those old does. They are worse than any buck I have ever gotten.
