Default Passed On A Wallhanger This Afternoon

Late this afternoon i was hog hunting on a one mile long 160 acre strip that runs on both sides of a creek for about one-half mile. It is located between two huge run down pastures. The place is isolated and is over-run with wild hogs.

Have also seen a few nice bucks on that place. A bowhunter friend killed a 12 point buck with 9" drop tines there 2004. That deer scored 168 points as a typical and 186 points as a non-typical.

This afternoon i was sitting in my tree stand overlooking the
feeder when a very nice 10 point came in. That deer would score 160 points. His inside spread is easily 23" and his brow tines are 6" long. He has a very symmetrical rack with no nubs.

i have this thing about shooting deer at a feeder; i just won't do it. Hogs yes; deer no. Today was the last day of OK deer gun season and the old boy will live another year.
