    We first got pictures of this buck on one of our leases in July this year. With no pictures from prior years we were hoping that he would stick around but we only got a total of three pictures of him in a three and that was it. Yesterday my grandpa took my dog for a walk and stumbled across this. He said it looked like it got shot around gun season or during the late season. We don't know of any neighbors that wounded a big one so were gonna keep it for ourselves. Would have rather found the sheds but i guess its better than never finding him at all. I haven't done any measuring on him yet so im not sure what he scores. I think it was only a three year old deer though. summer11 014.jpg summer11 017.jpg summer11 022.JPG SAM_0319.jpg SAM_0321.jpg summer11 043.jpg summer11 042.jpg

    What a shame man. He was a great deer. Wish you could have had a chance at him.

    Sorry to see that. What a giant that could've blossomed into.
