Quite the specimen that one. Nice full coat of chest hair. Thinking that is about 275, male, mid 40's, probably baited in with Schitz or other malt beverage, most likely traveling in small bachelor group, single, unlikey to breed this year. I'd pass.

Also, I wonder about the chest hair on the one back in the trees? Maybe nature called? Very interesting. Nice jeans though.

I don't know H20 - looks like a definite Booner to me.  Peak too, may need to take him before he turns into a management specimen next season.  I think those are Blue Blocker sunglasses - definitely a sign of a mature animal

Oh no, a texas heart shot would not work on a beast like that. Besides, a few more years and you'd have a bigger belly for the mount and a nice silver back for a rug.

Looks like you,re gonna need 3 tags--"deer", "bear", and "hairy-breasted lardbelly"!  Good luck field dressing the latter.  :puke:

Its very rare to see them critters in the wild like that. Usually you will find them in, or close to a bar, or fast food restarant.
