It's a monster from any angle...and a shame no matter what age or size. Real bummer what has been happening this year!

It looks like that deer's left antler is about 10 inches from the camera.
yeah his arms are out from the elbow down.. but for the most part his arms are at his side.. I know what your referring to but i just dont see it here ?? This deer is massive look at the mass.. What does he have to prove anyways, he didnt shoot it.

Try to imagine a rotted stinking deer head, and you hold it for a pic. and someone says get it closer to you.

I think its funny that all the head hunters pass on what they think are too small a rack, and then cry when it dies like this, or by a truck, or a million other ways. Thats a nice deer, but dont give a meat hunter crap for killing a 2 1/2 year old buck when he isn't just after the head. Those old sausage bucks are pretty to look at on a wall, but I'd take a yearling for the table any day.

Sounds like the drought forced these deer to share almost dried up watering holes, concentrating the disease and its spread.

Hope you don't have CWD down there. It's wreaking havoc on whitetails in southern Wisconsin.

CWD still pretty bad in S. WI? I used to go hunting down there years back. Where I hunted was Barneveld, only a few miles from where the disease started. There were a LOT of deer back then.
