Default My best deer yet!! (pics)

Well the Hornady FPB did it again,but im not braggin on the bullet this time..At 7:30am 11-14-09 (sat) ,I heard something coming,I was hunting on an oak flat and I could see through the trees pretty good and caught the glimpse of a deer running with his head down,I knew it was a buck.Well he kept zig zaging on that oak flat,like he was chaseing does,but there were no does there.

He starts to me,and right when I think he is coming out in the open,he zigs the other way and dis appears in the thick for a good min..I grab my grunt call and grunt 4 times,put it back and sure enough,here he comes,walking straight to me! He gets to 20 yds and he is still behind some little branches,I let the hammer down,smoke flys and he runs off.I can't see him..

When the smoke clears I listen,holding my breath to listen for crashing,I hear none! My heart sank..I climb down go look where he was standing,No blood,I am about ready to puke,so I walk the way he ran,about 50 yds into my walk,I hear thrashing in the leaves,I look foward and see white belly through a small pine tree..I hit my knees and thank the lord! I start over to him and thats when it hit me,he was huge!! I had no idea how big he was when I shot him.I can't believe it,he is my biggest deer to date,he is a main frame 9pt,but he has some small kickers coming off the back that are over 1 inch long,so I counted them!! Im pumped. I found out why he was aacting like he was chaseing does, when I was looking for him/ sign, I found probably 4 or 5 deer beds where deer had been beded down,Im assumeing that does were beded down there and I bumped them up when I was climbing my tree...

I only had intentions of takeing a doe this weekend..What abig plus this was,back to the bullet,It didn't leavea good blood trail this time,I took a quartering to shot.Oh well,its in the books now and the FPB did kill it! All in all he ran maybe 60 yds..I toook him off of the 30acre place I got permission to hunt this summer.Shot him out of the same tree I shot my bow deer out of on OCT 19...What do you guys think he will age at? He has alot of mass,Not sure if you can tell in the pics or not,but he is thick..Any idea on a score? I've never cared about it,but he is my biggest..
