Thanks for all the kind words. I'm very happy with him & feel very fortunate to be able to take him (how's that littlebluf, better??) I actually shot him last night (28th) & after searching for good blood & unable to find much I questioned my shot so backed out until this morning as I didn't want to jump him. Conditions were right (below freezing) to do so. The shot was a high double-lung hit & not very much blood; the end result was a very stiff buck this morning that allowed me to take some "unusual" pictures. Thanks for the kind responses; he "was" a 5x5 but has a clean broken point (G4) on his left beam. Thanks again.
