    Well I got home from school and decided I'd take a walk around the timber and see if I could find any sheds. I never found any sheds, but I did find this carcass that looks as though it's actually from last year. It's not a huge buck, but with the genetics that we have in our area it would have been a monster given 2 more years. It had some pretty cool lookin brow tines as well, and decent tine length that would have been cool to see a couple years down the road, especially with the buck that was killed earlier this year on neighboring land with a tall narrower rack that grossed right at 200". Makes me sick to even think that this deer could have had similar genes.

    Whata shame. That's a sweet rack. To bad the feller had to meet his fate that way.

    Man, that would've been a nice deer for the wall. He's got some mass to the main beams.
