Update* I shot that tall boy his tines were 13 1/2" tall. He had three small points at the bottom about 3/4 of an inch tall. So if those count as points he was actually a nine point. I looked at his teeth and his rear teeth were starting to concave so from what I've read he was about 3 1/2 years old. There's another monster up but I couldn't get a shot on him. Giant 10 maybe he'll survive till next year and we can play again. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!
Haha... All I have is the head it was about 7pm no one at the inlaws to get a good pic. Hold on ill post one. There's another really small point right under the bag. Ton of meat in the freezer. Wow! I think that's the most meat I've ever cut off a deer. Good stuff.
Unfornately I had to make a decision to either take this one and end my season or keep trying to drive to where I hunt. It's about 105 miles to get there and back from my house. A lot of $ spent in gas driving there since bow season opened. The freezer full of meat is well worth the $ I spent getting there and back so I'm not ashamed of not letting him walk. He was mature enough for me so I'm happy. Also something I found out this weekend was my brother in law 29 years old (2 kids and a wife) still living with his wife's parents on which the property is located told me he's been shooting everything he can. Spikes ,4-points, took a shot at a super small 6. Kind of made me mad. So I don't feel like I did wrong. If I wouldn't have got him he def would have tried. He's also been sitting in my damn tree stand which really pisses me off. I took months of time scouting and finding wind directions and so on to find that spot. He just goes and plops his butt down in it. Or rides around the property in his truck.
Is their any cooperation with the other two hunters? On our property we have a shoot/do not shoot list which helps a lot.
