I tried to measure how tall the antlers are but not sure since they curve. With a straight tape measure one is 7" tall and the other a tad shorter.

Next time one his size will walk but I may not have that opportunity again. There is a wise 6 or 8 pointer in there someplace I want!!!

Good gawd, look at all the blood on the ground!

Congrats on your first bow kill. It took me 4 years of bow hunting before I got my first bow kill and it was a button buck. I was so pumped up with adrenalin and buck fever I though it was a 300 pound doe when I shot it..... that is until I walked up to it and could throw it over my shoulder. Ha ha.

Thanks for the comments! Yeah. Loads of red. I didn't expect to have to watch the guy sit 20 min with all that on ground. Tough willed creatures to me
