Pretty good deer

Here is a pretty good deer I killed a couple of hours ago. Saw three bucks this afternoon. I guess they are pretty much still in rut. I couldn't pass on this one. I shouldn't complain,but I wish he was about six inches wider.

Nice mass on that buck even though you didn't get the width you wanted. I'd be very happy with a buck like that one. Congratulations!

That deer could be smaller than he is and still be once in a lifetime where I hunt. Count your blessings.

I really like the wood on his head! Lots of character and good genes at work! I would shoot him too but them sticks up top hang up to much when you drag 'em... But I am known to fib before my first cup of coffee too

Six more inches indeed................!!

If I saw something like that here in our NE FL. swamps I'd let it walk. I mean it would not be worth all the trouble. I'd NEVER be able to convince the authorities that I "really did think it was a wild deer" when they found me with that escaped ELK............. Nope not worth the trouble.........

Very nice! A beautiful deer by any regard, and out here it would definitely be a prized trophy.
