WOW, OMG what a buck! And, while hunting from the ground! Great, short story as well.

I got cold chills when you said you "couldn't help but let out a scream" when you found him. Heck, I almost even got a little watery eyed. Love your enthusiasm and I'm very excited for you.

Terrific deer.  Great story.  Congrats.

You should put him in Comptons, for sure.

I held off waiting for the story. Congrats on a great buck and hunting season! Sounds like you put in the work and reaped the rewards. Look forward to the mounted trophy when it comes back.   :thumbsup:

Wow. That is a truely exceptional buck. Especially this late in the season. I know scores are not important but I would sure be interested to know what he measures. Just out if curiosity. What a beautiful buck.

Awesome buck. I know it happens, but shooting a buck of that magnitude off the ground is pretty special, and rare. Congrats.

Nice.  I have het to see a deer in Michigan with tines of that length.  Great genetics right there.

Well done. Congrats on a fine animal.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.
