It was your first day of hunting you say? What day of the general season...the opener? That deer isn't even that old if I had to guess. Short nose, the white and black brow on his face appear to be around a 4 or 5 year old deer in my experience of looking at big deer in Washington. What were you thinking...shooting a young buck and not letting him grow?
Nice deer! Can you give us a hint (GMU) 100's, 200's or 300'?

I'll keep just between you and me!
