5 point down !!!!!!!!
 

YEEEE HAAAAA!!!!!!! finaly got me a buck with my bow. But here is the big question, He has a dager sticking out of the left side of his head and when I touched it, it fell off. There is a puss pocket between his horns, is the meat going to be ok????????? I stuck the horn back in for the pic's. Let me know what you think. I dont want to end up eating it if its bad. The insides of him seam to be ok with no foul oder that unusual.

He gave me 2 shots. I under estimated the first shot and it went right under him. He startled but I was able to call him back. 15 minutes later he gave me another chance, I didnt underestimate that shot. I had to avoid a small branch but was able to lean over to the side a little and let it fly. I think you can see where he was hit in the pic. He ran 40 yards and I watched him drop just as he went behind a bush. I wasnt sure at first but I waited a few minutes and he didnt come out. I got down, I couldnt find my arrow and there was no blood anywhere. I walked over the where I saw him last and there he was, dead as a door nail. Compleat pass through. It was about a 35 yard shot.

Congrats on your first. I wouldn't worry about the meat at all.

congrats on your first buck. I would think that something caused an injury to his head, hence the wound & infection. Meat should be okay. Just be sure not to touch any meat or equiptment w/that puss material, horn, skin etc.

After getting it taken care of, I cut the skull so I can mount the horns. The single horn was suppose to be behind the front horn not sticking out the side. The tips of all the other horns are broke off, but just the tips. I would say he had been doing quite a bit of fighting/sparing and I think thats what broke off the back long horn. I can see where it is broke off atthe base at an angle. Still a weird set of horns. Thanks everyone for all your fastreply's so I knew what to do about the meat.
