Nice buck - BUT I' ve got to say it BOTHERS me your first is on a summer management permit, the local warden says " deer=male/female - don' t worry about it" . Not because I care so much about your particular herd, But because so many here are afraid to say what they think -

Beleive me - if you only had a doe permit in season - and you posted about the nice buck you shot and illegaly tagged- you' d get your asss chewed on this forum.

NOW - Congrats on the buck.....I absolutely understand your excitement and pride..... now, Do some research on deer, deer populataions, carrying capacities, QDM, and your state' s management philosophy - you will be VERY Glad you did - and you will come away- with a little more " understanding" . Your follow up hunting experiences will be SO much better once you do.

Thanks for posting - its the first buck I read about taken this season.
