    Great job! Nothing in my opinion, is more impressive then getting a deer this late in the season. Nice buck!
    Is there anything better than being in the woods?!

    Nice Buck for sure.... but I could see how you wanted to give him another year.... he could have been a beast! You certainly made the right call by taking him. Congrats and thanks for sharing the story....

    well again thanks Guys
    I am almost sure he might have made it another yr even with the bullets, as they were just in meat more or less and not any vitals, but just never know what infection or what can happen in time
    and at the time I didn't know that ?? didn't see what the issue was till the hide came off!

    so I'm glad to been able to harvest him, a great buck for my area, to be honest, 120 class bucks are far and few up this way, too many trigger happy folks that just want to eb able to say they killed a buck, even if it a yearling!
    But sure would have really like to seen what he could have been, next yrif he made it,
    but I think you feel that way any buck you shoot LOL, or I do anymore!

    sad thing is I was out today and my best buck I know of still at the farm,
    was limping tonight too ??
    so its a like a WTH , dam cheaters are my biggest problem here!
    Just sucks,
    I'm hoping he makes it,
    as he is the only 4 yr old I know of I have left this yr, nothing but two 3 yr olds left I know of now,
    and all rest are younger bucks, a bunch of them, but all very far off from making it to what I would like!
    and I started off this yr with my most 3.5 + yr olds ever too!, but seems they all didn't make it??

    But Oh well, what can you do?

    awesome deer. I have had two deer do just like you described. One never went out of sight, and the other I could track in the wet leaves. congratulations.
