Agree, nice deer. But, a bit spindly in my opinion.  Young deer?  I’d take a dozen inches off for some mass. Great pic though, as usual!

My guess would have been on the younger end 4.5 maybe.   I probably would have guessed younger, but later on I saw a photo of him from the previous year.

I’m not going to be picky on your photo. All I can say is that deer is a stud and I too would be breathing hard. I’m not sure I would have remembered my gun if I saw a deer like that. Great pic!

If he had more mass he'd be a WA version of ol' "Popeye".

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

And that's why I don't carry my gun on sling and leave the scope on mimimum power. My best buck, not even close to that one, I jumped in a similar situation and neck shot it on the run.

Beautiful animal! Thanks for sharing!

One of the reasons I like to share my photos is that I hope it helps rekindle a memory, or makes you think of what could be.   I’ve lost two bucks bigger than this guy, hunting here in Washington.  One was my mistake and one was another hunters interference.   I had the same pit in my gut when this happened.  Like I said this one turned out better.  Maybe when the snow is deep, I’ll go over those stories on here.  I’m not getting any closer on that book. Lol

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Imagine jumping this fellow and catching a 2 second glimpse of him before he was gone.   A buck of a lifetime.  Would you even get your gun unshouldered?  :chuckle:    I about had a heart attack.... 



Great shot Bone!  Sometimes all you get is a couple of seconds....
