Ya know Germ...He really is a decent buck. Don't get me wrong he's no slammer and I havekilled way bigger deer before but he is decent.

The problem is I'm such a fat arse that none of my deer look big with me in the photo! I know he's not too thick but my fat fingers make him look like he has pencils growing out of his head!

This dude was pretty heavy (didn't weigh him) he was tough to put into the back of my truck. He has a big head (look at the photos) and his spread was way outside of his ears. I had been passing on a few smaller deer over the past few weeks and I said that if I saw something over 100in I'd try to kill it. I know he is over 100in just not sure how much, I measured the inside spread and he's just about 16in and like I said he has long beams for this young a deer.

While I'm not a proponent of letting deer walk so they can get bigger for the next year I will say that after putting him down and taking a real good look at him, this dude would have been an aboslute bruiser in the years to come. He has all the right genetics, big body, great spread and great tine length for a 2.5 year old deer (my guess).

But.......I love to hunt and like I have stated before, I will take a shot at what strikes my fancy that given day. I'm very happy with this deer. I still have another tag and I will try to see if I can put an arrow into one of the bigger deer I've been seeing up here where I live. Only time will tell, but for now I'm way stoked!!!!
