    Sorry for the crappy pic guys, it's from my phone and the same one that I text messaged to a lot of you already. Indeed this is the buck of a lifetime for Todd, and probably for 99% of bowhunters. He'd been watching this deer for two years before finally figuring out where he was bedding and moving in right on top of him. After 3-4 close encounters he finally sealed the deal tonight. 10 yard shot, 150 yard recovery despite a double lung hit. He'll go close to 300 lbs on the hoof and probably gross well over 170, and possibly 180. He is a stud in every sense of the word. I will let Todd elaborate more when he gets a chance, and we'll post better photos when we get them off our cameras tomorrow.

    For now, this is all I've got. Enjoy!
