Outstanding
Amazing when people show some patience on shooting and what a couple years can do on a good Buck
Same with us STX, if you haven't tipped them over by Rut be prepared for breakage

Really nice main frame 8 and obviously the wait was worth it
I count 10 points on it. You have the split brow and the kicker coming off at the base and all are over an inch in length
Beautiful trophy, congratulations sir!!
Love the tall bladed g2s.

How many times did you go out to look at him last night and this morning
I know I did a few times when I killed my first really nice buck.

I went out this morning to look at him before the taxi. All I could say to myself was that's a great buck! I keep replaying in my head the moments from last night. Only 5mins left of the hunt and this tall monster coming up from the creek. He walked in knowing he was the big guy on the block. He came in on a string to a group of does I stopped in a shooting lane with some hand thrown corn. I could barely contain myself enough to wait for him to turn broadside. I waited until he was quartered towards me and buried the .270win straight to the shoulder. He went no further than 20yds in the tree line. I was floored when I walked up on him. Couldn't believe this monster was on the ground. And the QUEST was over! Called the wife and let her know it was finally over. Until the next one that is!

Great buck, and yes you need to thank your wife for putting up with you during hunting season. Oh, and while your getting ready for hunting season, and after hunting season when you are thinking about hunting season and the season when you are getting ready for the season. Yep, you need to thank your wife.
