fechmupbud: you don't have to worry about what anyone else would have done or says you should have done. Hunting and taking the deer of your choice for your pleasure is what it should be. It's suppose to be fun. I'm proud of your dang deer. I'd shoot him in a heart beat.... unless macho buck was next to him.
Don't EVER feel like you can't post something on here. If folks get in your case there will always be a couple of us crotchetty old farts around to cover your back. I personnally think it's a very nice deer. Not as big as some of mine.. but nice. LOL[8D][8D] OH, I have shot about 40 or so smaller bucks and everyone of them was special.
