Congrats on a stud buck, and thanks for sharing. The smile says it all.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I think that smile says more than words every could.  Great deer, I think I would still be smiling if I had shot that guy.

When you do get around to words I would love to hear a little bit of the story of how it all went down.

I'll start it for you, "There I was, lucky to be alive...
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Wow, I went back and looked.  The one in your avatar is last years buck.  You are on  roll.

So others don't have to look it up here is his thread from last year with the buck from his avatar.
