What a magnificent buck, congratulations!

I in no way want to take anything away fromyour story or experience; however that buck looks mighty healthy to me. Did you clean him up?

I see what looks to be a cut on the upper right leg but I don't really see any infection...not saying it isn't there just can't see it.

For a buck to die of infection 23 days after it was shot I would expect it to look a lot more emaciated than this one, especiallyduring the rut.

This is just an observation frommy experiencesand not a criticism of you.

I can easily see why you would be excited to get a buck like that.
