    Well this morning i finally got one!!Both of his antlers were broke off, right one almost clean and then the left has about 3 inches left!.Came in right at me and turned broadside at 20 yards and let him have it.went maybe 100 yards and piled up...Really pumped even though his horns were broke off. My first bow kill and my first buck. DSCF0818.jpg

    from one mid-michigan hunter to another, congrats!
    Too bad about the busted headgear- he looks like he's a mature deer with a decent size body. I bet he'd have been an 8.
