    Hey everyone, just wanted to recap why this buck means so much to me. This, HANDS DOWN, has been the roughest trip I've had yet.

    First, I get out here and the deer movement was at a minimum, whether it was the moon, corn, heat...take your pick it just wasn't happening for me.

    Second, I had a great spot and an all day sit ruined by trespassers.

    Third, the one thing that gets me thru those all days sits is my PSP with texas hold 'em. I lost it... $150 value

    Fourth, I lost my oakleys helping a friend look for a deer... $200 value

    Fifth, after shooting my deer one of the locals was mad, jealous either or... called the conservation agent and said I was poaching... had a nice run in with the CA at the truck.

    Sixth, on the way back to the hotel I rolled up on a horrible car accident. I was supposed to leave that stuff behind me when I'm on vacation.

    SOOOO, when the saying goes "Its a trophy to me"... thats why this one is to me.

    I hope I'm not coming across ungreatful. I put an extrordinary amount of time and work in hunting trophy class whitetails. (I refrain from saying mature because if a 150" 2 year old walks by, he's gonna get shot). Therefor my expectations are always high. I shot a 155" last year and was probably spoiled when I did.
