Awesome buck right there...  congrats on a great hunt!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

His face does make him look like a benchleg. I am sure he is mostly mule to get a body like that. All we have around here is benchlegs and I love hunting them. Never know what you are going to find. I would have no problem thinking that buck has some blacky mixed in.
