    So far this has been a great season for me already. My first sit of the year seen 2 bucks that were shooters but decided to pass because it was so early. 2nd night out seen seen 2 good looking bucks around 6:30 if it wasn't so warm would have shoot the 7 pointer! But I let them go and 15 min later 3 more bucks came out and thank god I past, because this 11 pointer came right to me. Think he was starting to wind me and he was walking off and I stop him at 20 yards, And the rest is history. My Matthews chillx 70 lb 31 inch draw absolutely smoked him with the help of the rage chisel tip. Ran maybe 20-30 yards and died! uploadfromtaptalk1444090763186.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1444090786665.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1444090801343.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1444090816802.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1444090836781.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1444090850872.jpg

    Congrats, hope to have your luck on one of my sits. Sounds like a heck of a hunt.

    Hell of a deer man. It pays to pass mediocre deer. Congrats and good job on the self control. Its hard to watch decent bucks you can kill easily and let them walk

    Put a tape to him and tell us, the answer is hanging in your garage :lol:

    Hard to say by the pics but I'd guess somewhere at upper 130's if not right at 140. G2's about 10 inches? G3' at 8 or 9 inches? G4 on the right side 1 inch, 4 on the left. 3 inch brows + the 1 inch split (love that). 18 inch spread I'd guess. 20 inch main beams with probably around 30 inches in mass. Nice buck! Congrats!!
