Shot this buck just before Thanksgiving. He walked out at 200 yards and the sun hit his horns and i didnt think twice. 7mm put him down where he stood. Had a ton of pictures of him before season and he looked like a hoss. All the pictures made him look 5+, but when i got him on the ground he was only 3.5. At first i felt bad for shooting him, but then again this is my biggest low fence deer to date. His nick name was Muley, has some great character. Have not put a tape on him yet but interested to see if he will break 145.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

How did you age him on the ground? Did you look at his teeth?

Nice buck! Forget the score, good bone and good meat. Congrats!
