Thanks guys!! Yes he was a big deer!We weighed him and he went 173 lbs field dressed! I hunt public land in Monroe County and he is the 2nd biggest bodied deer that I have taken in my 20 some years of hunting! I never thought I'd see a buck as big as him on opening day let alone getting one on the first day! I could not pass him up! He came by at about 12 yards!
Here is a pic. from my stand where I shot him.
