Gutpile, I see from your post count you must be running around the internet posting this picture to anyone who will listen. Tell you what, I would be too. That there is one fine looking animal. In fact, he may be one of the prettiest 8 points I've ever seen. The guy did a great job on maintaining features and muscles in a natural way. Too often I see a nice deer ruined by some guy who's in a hurry and ends up with a deer with a smile or snear on his face. Nice deer Gutpile. You should be proud. HINT.... If you're going to come in here and thump your dang chest and show us this deer, the least you can do is post a story with it. But NO... you just flash a picture and run to the next board. We want more grasshoppper...... or nothing at all.[8D]

RE: The biggest deer of my life!
Davidmil, you arecorrect.My apologies for that but i have two jobs and just a little time brag on this deer. But after turkey season I'm dropping one of the jobs. Now on to the story of the BIGGEST buck of my life. I
was late getting the stand that day, so i ran to the stand after putting out some doe in heat.
Got into the stand around 6am, and started nod off a Little bit. Thank god for a full body harness,i sat there for about an hour with not a hair showing itself. Then about 7am i heard sonoise coming to my left, there was a doe coming on the wrong trail. I shot a doe about 10 days Early so i did not take the bow of the holder. After she went by i heard some more noise coming down the same trail.
All of a sudden i saw HIM, i grabbed the bow and with that movement he stopped. Thank god he was behind a tree when he looked my way,but by that time i was at full draw. He took one step (his last) i settled the pin behind his shoulder and touched the release.
He jumped the at string a bit but, had enough time in stands to know aim a Little low. After the shot i heard the crash But still waitedfor overan hour before geting down. But there was no need for that, because i found him 43 yards from were i found the arrow!

I remember you posting those pictures earlier in 2005? I thought anyway. Great buck! He's a magnum! Congrats on the nice mount. He's a heck of a 4x4.
