It is an awesome buck - I just had to laugh at the boots a little though they almost dominate the photo.

my lucky boots!! I kill everything in a pair of *censored* kickers and B&C scoring. Like I said. At first glance you'd think this buck is mid 160's but the tape doesn't lie. He is massive!!

nice buck! Yeah the pics must not do him justice! I was thinking 160's myself, good work

I woke up at normal time. 7 am. Not expecting to go hunting but expecting to go to school. I forgot that it was late start so I had a couple hours to burn. Instead of going to sleep like most 17 year old would do I though I might as well go do some glassing on the fourwheeler. As soon as I got to my glassing spot I glassed up 5 legal bucks. But nothing I wanted to shoot. And then I looked over, two big toads! I've had this buck on trail camera for over a month and a half but hasn't had the opportunity to get a shot at him. I ran down to my house grabbed my bow and range finder and headed up after him. As I was hiking up I'm praying to The Lord, please help my arrow fly straight and please help me not to be shaking to bad to make the shot!
   As I crest the steep hill onto the flat where the bucks were bedded I hear crashing. The bucks winded me and were taking off before I was even there. I was thinking oh no, here goes everything. Well... The big buck stopped just long enough to give me a 50 yard shot, as I let the arrow fly I knew it was money. THWACK. Right behind the shoulder breaking the opposite shoulder. He hunkered up. Hobbled maybe 30 yards and then went over. I broke down. I can't explain the emotion I was feeling and how happy I was. When I got up to him tears were rolling. Like I said, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. My biggest buck to date and I feel so lucky to harvest such a beautiful animal.
   There's my story. I hope everyone else is killin and eatin good too!
