Finally, a beast is dead
 

Been hunting since early october and passed on quite a few small bucks, but had just about resigned myself to no shooters this year. Sat morning was chilly for my area (only 30 or so but I'm in LA) - I hiked into a hardwood bottom, where a few deer had slipped by another stand, and sat on the trusty stool next to a holly tree. I actually thought our rut was over, but when fully light, I looked 10ft from me and saw a fresh scrape - not long after, I see 2 small bucks aggressively chasing a doe. At 0820 this guy came thru on the same path, but interestingly, he was not swollen and didn't stink - light deer too, so he may have been rutted out. Anyway, quite a rush - only thing that could've made it better is if it was a bowkill.

Congrats! The G2 on its right side must be 10" and its tounge has to be at least 11".:D

Real Nice Job! Congrat's!

G2 was exactly 10" on right side - ashame he didn't have mass - i didn't age him, but he's probably 3.5 years, so he's produced a healthy rack. If I had not cut the picture at the hat, you'd notice i'm wearing one of those $700 mathews hats -just bought this week, and had it not been for the cool weather, i'd probably have been bow hunting.
