Close but no cigar!
Just got back from my first hunt of the year. It was unbeleivably hot and humid--hunted in S Carolina near the coast. I had a nice 8 point in bowrange, but he never gave me a good shot. i estimate(conservatively) him to have been 115-120". I would have been happy with him as the deer here are not known for being tremendous. It was frustrating to endure the heat and get so close without getting the shot, but I was happy to be hunting and enjoyed seeing a nice buck and a few others at a time of year that is tough. I will return in 10 days and hopefully he'll give me, or maybe one of his bigger brothers, will give me a second oppurtunity.
