wisbowhunter2009---Have you ever hunted "down there" to make a general statement like you have now twice? Trust me that after having hunted "up here" since the 60s and "down there" since the early 70s that there are many big deer "down there" and that is certainly one of them! The OP mentioned that he estimated the weight at 180#, which certainly isn't a small one, and IMHO he may be underestimating the weight of that great buck.
