    Is that in the UP or is he just UP? Depends I guess on part of the country, where I live at a 4-1/2 would have more mass as far as thickness of antlers. Genes and all that matter with antler growth. Hard for an 8 point buck to score more than 135"

    Lots of work from a lot of guys to get them this big and old up here. We have great neighbors and we all have the same hunting ethics which helps a lot.

    Are you ignoring your team thread on purpose? That's a heckuva buck. I'm starting to take this personal.

    Well last weekend I sent an arrow through this boy. Really upset about it he jumped the string and i hit him very high in the back. The arrow was covered in white fat no blood and also found about 1 inch hair.

    I saw the shot and immediately knew i shot high. When i found the arrow and the hair i thought i barely scrapped his back.

    I was back out and checked cams this weekend. He is still coming in and the shot is lower then I thought.

    What do you guys make of it? Im sort of suprised i didnt spine him. 20191011_135849.jpeg 20191011_140004.jpeg

    I guess your hit was in the "void". :biggrin:
