I've had some fantastic stalks and some very close encounters this year. Took a lot of pictures, passed on some smaller bucks but......damn, season close was knocking on the door. Yesterday I was already considering killing a doe as I spent most of the day hunting and couldn't find a legal buck. I went out this morning and found the guy I've been after this entire late season. The ground was very noisy and the best I could do was 80-130 yards on multiple stalks. I gave up on him and ran across this buck. Another gene pool removal buck. I'll repost a pic of my wifes from this year.

I LOVE red snow

As he lay (how bout that neck Michelle?)

on his right side he has a spike and 2 small points, one goes straight down. He looks real small bodied in this pic
