Going to net poorly, especially for typical.  They will no doubt nail the two large points as the abnormals inline....  But who cares.  That's the buck I have been after for 35 yeArs.

Hey wea300mag how far do you think he traveled roughly?

Using my mapping software, he expired about 17 miles (as the crow flies) from my camera.

Fabulous. Most of us will never even see a buck like that let alone get a shot.

This deer may have a twin.  Saw another pic of one that looked almost identical to this one.  Thought it was with the pictures side by side, but my friend saw the other one and the individual that shot it.  Two different deer but almost identical racks.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

2 bucks just like this would be unreal in one year. holy cow. 17 miles is along ways I think. Maybe early migration to his rutting core zone? if so, it would change how I think those big boys work. Maybe like stated, another buck just like it? That would be unreal if true. The distance and timing is pretty intriguing to think it moved that far.

I'm jealous that's all.
A remarkable experience is one where the pain is forgotten so quickly, the frustrations and struggles are forgotten the minute you’re done.

I can’t wait to do it the next time.
