Default Opening Day Buck!!!

Hello All,
Shot this Deer Opening morning. He was on the move and locked up in front of my stand, probably the doe scent? Time I clipped on he was on the move again. A quick mouth grunt stopped him long enough to drop my pin on him at 17 yrds to my left. He decided to take off about the same time I released. The shot hit little back but pretty sure got liver. I watched him cross field and walk into the timber across the road. Found arrow with some stomach/ dark blood on it. I left to give him sometime to hopefully bed up. Time I got permission and got back out to search other timber it was right at 5 hrs later. Time I got back out it started to rain pretty good. Searched about 2 hrs and decided to go back and let the rain slack off. I ran into a guy that knew that area pretty good so him and I went out after the rain settled. went passed the previous searched timber. Went to search aarea that was a little thicker and had a pond farther back. Anyways I went in about 70 yrds and ran into him What and exausting in day. This Buck had 3 points on each fronts of the main beams, but one was broke on his right side. Big split 2 and a really short double bladed browtine also on right, hard to see in pic. If counted the broke off tine and the sticker below browntine he would of been a 15, so my son says....ha! Sorry so long, but could talk for hrs about this hunt

Sorry about pic with tounge out! It wasn't till the second pic that I checked and this one happened to be the best to see the rack.

Wow, great buck. If you're going to punch your tag on opening day that's the kind of buck to do it with. Congrats.
