I have posted this pic and the story behind it before. I will give it a quicky. I found him hit by a car laying dead in the ditch of my favorite property. I found him on my way to hunt there that morning. It was in November a couple of years ago. He is a great buck. Great mass, grosses close to 160.

I know the feeling. I lost TWO deer the week before the season opened in two consecutive years. The first year it was a monster 10 point on public land. I had him figured out and was ready for him. The caretaker and I became great friends. He met me at the parking area at 5:00 opening morning to tell me the buck got killed crossing the road by his house on his way past my stand. He had been traveling with an 8 and a 6 point. I killed the 8 point opening morning where I expected to shoot the 10. The second year it was a monster 12 point traveling with 3 others. He died from a car crossing out of my little 25 acre patch 2 days before the bow season. Of those 4 bucks I found one shot with a gun before gun season dead in a field. 2 got whacked by cars and I killed a very nice 10 pointer... who had been the soul survivor. This is the left over one. The 12 dwarfed him and this one dress at 186. I was sick when I found out about the 12. I watched him 3 or 4 nights a week all summer.

NICE DEER DAVIDMIL!

I haven' t had any of the deer I have seen hit by a car, but I have made the mistake of telling others where I hunted and seena nice deer. They hunted my spot while I was working and got my deer..[:@]

that is why now I only tell parts of my hunting stories.

Nice buck David, what was that, 30 years ago, you are too young looking in that pic,:D had to be 30 years ago[:-]

NO, I' m wearing a Duke hat. My son graduated from there in 94. He got me the hat probably in his sophomore year... so the year would probably be 92 or 93. It' s been a hard 10 years.[:' (] And to think, this one was second best. The 8 point had a rack just as big with probably longer tines. This one is 21 1/2 inside.
