RE: 1st ML Buck
Hey, way to go, dbc5150! Being a Michigander myself, I can tell you that's a great buck from this state. Not that they don't come bigger, but most die at a young age (that's ok in my book, 'cause they're more tender!).
Being in the right place at the right time is a whole lot more important than the brand name on your gun.
Congratulations!
