thank you for the great story man! maybe next year you'll get the other big one, but this one should be in magazines.------STEELcatcher wrote:I do have his sheds from last year and I was mad that when I took the pictures of him I was going to hold his sheds beside him. But my help was not happy about all the lifting and all the pictures. And i felt very rushed with the whole process. Then I told my help that after we take all the pictures that we got to re hang him up in my garage. So I forgot to hold them up. But they are basically exactly the same except this year they are a lot bigger. The funny thing is I killed him 80 yards or so from where I found his Sheds. And his sheds were about 60 yards apart in the spring when I found them. But I will take a picture of them tonight and post either tomorow or Monday. Beleive it or not but he was not the buck I was after. Last year I had a 165 class ten point heading straight for me and he stopped at 60 yards and looked past me for ten minutes then he turned and walked away. Then about 3 or 4 minutes later a pack of coyotes came through from where he was looking. If it was not for the coyotes I might have had that one last fall. So really I was after the ten pointer this fall. But I think the one I got this fall had a much bigger body. I ate two of his loin chops last night. And was expecting the worse. But actually tasted pretty good just a bit tough. Not like those young ones you can cut with a fork. He is definetly a tropy eight pointer.
