almost a nice buck for me
 

well i was hunting with my cousin yesterday and we split up.. well i hunted an area all i seen was button bucks nothing came in close for a shot that could have been shot so i said i'm going to go down by the acorn trees its getting late... well i'm walking down the road and i hear something crashing threw the woods and there it is a big deer i stop i drawn back and it drops to the ground so i'm like.... what the heck happend did someone shot from above.. well i waited for 5min and it wasn't moving so i walk up with arrow drawn and i see an arrow sticking out of the right side of him and there is blood every where.... it was my cousins arrow... but he was hunting all the way back near the river almost 800+ yds.. so i go find him he was way in the back go get him he is excited i found the deer he has been looking for and when he got there he was like wow what a deer bigger then when i seen him in the stand.. we we gut him and seen he put the arrow threw one lung and a kidney he was shooting down on him.. well when this thing came right at me and 10 yds and dropped when i drew i didn't know what to think but the deer was a nice big 6 point and it was a big body deer weighted 187lbs we weighted him from a tree on a fishing scale we use on my boat for tuna... that was gutted weight.. not a huge rack nice 17 in spread but wow what a big deer and he was in rut head was all wet from rubbing and back of legs where wet from the scent that comes of from the joint area and kneck was real puffed out... can't wait for a steak....
