This deer I killed on the 15th of November when it was 80 degrees. It rained all day and cleared up that evening, when I went out, but I still got caught in a downpour. After it was all said and done this guy came up through there. Last year that deer was an eight pointer. He looked like he had two pitchforks sticking out of his head. It still wasn't a foot wide spread on it. This year he was a nine pointer and still hasn't reached a foot. 170 grain snuffer, 10 yard shot through the backbone. Zero recovery.
This one I was hunting over a honeysuckle patch. Some does and fauns came in and were feeding hard, and then he showed up, pushing everything out of his way and wanting to take it all. He was having his way until he got the shaft. Broadside shot, twenty yards, but he still ran fifty very quickly. 170 grain snuffer, and he's an eight point, just under an eighteen inch spread. This is the one that I will score for the team, and now I'm done. I've maxed out.
I shall see, I won't mount any more to much money
