Sure it is great to nail a good early season buck..... But to me there is nothing better than a swollen neck buck with a bad attitude
Early season bucks weigh in more and are more tender eating when you concider the fact that they haven't yet fought and chased does all over heck and back. Rutting bucks can be stupid at times if you can find a doe nearby.
I will chew and extra 10 times between swallows

After all as the sig says..... Antlers are the breakfast of champions

That's why Antler Eater shoots so many good bucks.... A solid diet [8D]
From the looks of those trees you posted earlier, your bucks neck might be swelling pretty good already.
Man I have to email you a pic of one of those guys neck.... It looks rutted out already
