That is a cool deer, but I can't believe no one jumped all over him. I mean I read the story and he shot through a thicket so he couldn't tell if he hit him or not. Then he has a 40 yard shot and was going to take it, but the buck stumbled so he didn't? If I ever get a follow up shoton an animal I'll take it. I'm not the best hunter or anything, but this story just bothered me. Maybe I'm just jealous.
Tell your friend congratz on the buck though.
