reallybigbuck

Today was the last day of our rifle season and me and a friend were hunting 2 miles from my house. We could see lots of big bucks but they were not heading our way. We had 10 does and a few small bucks come within shooting range but nothing worth shooting. We could see more than 100 deer in the pasture that we were hunting but we had no chance of getting close. We decided with 20 minutes left of legal time to walk back to the truck. As we neared the truck we could see 25 deer about 200 yards away. They spooked and that is when we noticed this buck. We could tell something was wrong though when he stumbled and fell. Through my spotting scope I could see that his front leg was broken at the shoulder and he could barely run so I decided to take him because he wouldn't have made it through the winter. He isn't a big buck, just a young 5x4, which I wouldn't have shot if he hadn't been wounded but I guess I didn't get skunked. Here are some pics.
