Well just checked my camera and no more pictures of him in three weeks. Hopefully when the rut action starts I'll get him to come out of hiding. I seem to be overrun with does right now, hopefully that will work to my advantage.

Finally!
Well no more guessing! Dropped him at 7:45 opening morning of rifle season here in MO. Came charging in about fifteen minutes after giving grunt call. Stopped dead in tracks 20 yards from stand all bristled up stomping ground and shaking head ready for fight. So now to the score. Inside spread 18.75 really though it would be more from pictures. Main beam lengths of 23.5 and 23. Final tally after all measurements..............136.5! Definitely nice enough to go on my wall and taste great in my skillet and on my grill. Very old deer which surprised me though.
