Congratulations Mike!  That's a beauty. I'm sure you'll savor the hunt as much as the meals everytime you have him for dinner.

Congrats Mike a truly awesome buck and appreciate remembering the creator in your endeavors.

Is that a Marc Anthony Grille?  DO you wear the pant also or just used the top?
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Beautiful Buck Mike.  I bet you'll stop beating yourself up for shooting a doe in November now...
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Awesome man!  When I'm catching up on some threads I will look ahead at the deer and then go back and read the story.  Your story telling was so engaging... I had started in the middle but actually went back and read from the start before allowing myself the pleasure of the pics... it was worth the wait!  Awesome story...  Incredible buck!  Thanks for taking us along!

Got him caped and had my 12 year old hold it. Time for a special mount as I think I won't be killing another one like this anytime soon.

Next month I will head to Tennessee for my Great-Uncles and we will doing the taxi work together...me fleshing and tanning, him the heavy lifting. Thanks for all the nice comments! Good luck to you guys the rest of the way    :campfire:
