Nice buck! It doesn't get much better than that in New Jersey in late January! Congrats to you!
Like others have asked, how big were the other bucks he was runnin' with?

Well, there were 3 other bucks like the one I got....possibly bigger and there was a little spike with it. The deer I got was right in front of me (along with all of the other deer except this one big buck), trying to dig up the corn under the snow. There was the other big buck to the left of me, even closer, at another bait pile digging it up as well. I tried to get the deer to the left of me at first, but since I was in a latter stand and I had a whole bunch of layers of clothes on, it was hard for me to lift my arm up that high over the armrest, without the deer in front of me seeing me.
So I took the shot I had, which was this 10 pointer. Despite my heartpounding chest and cell phone vibrating when I was seeing these deer, atleast 3 of the other bucks were as big if not bigger than mine.
I was WAY to nervous to count all of the others...I just tried to relax and keep my eye on this one deer.

I brought the deer to the taxidermist a few days ago and it's going to cost me $550 to get it mounted. The taxidermist has new mounting poses/styles that I've never seen....I'm getting the "Alert" mount....
