KY buck down today!

Hey guys im farily new to the board, but have been lurking for a while. I have seen alot of nice deer from other members and thought I would share mine. I took this guy this after noon as a matter of fact. I went on more of a scouting trip than anything today trying to find a place to hang a stand. I went out in a pair of blue jeans and camo jacket. It was about an hour and a half before dark as I walked around on top of a ridge I had hunted before a couple years ago. The area is so thick its hard to see more than 60-70 yards. I continued to walk out the ride a ways and I heard movment over on my left. I stopped and just waited several minutes looking around. I spotted a 4pt over on my right and he ran off down the hill. I kept hearing something over on my left so I continued to stand still. I saw movement out in front of me and all I could see was a rack and he was heading away from me and dissapeared. I was helpless as I left my grunt tube at the house. Shortly after the the noise to my left kept getting closer and closer. Out walks a doe and a buck behind some this brush about 50yds. All I could see was antlers so I picked out what I thought was his shoulder and shot. He dropped on the spot as the bullet hit its mark. This guy is my biggest to date!

What do u guys think? Any idea on a score? He is about 16 wide G1's are about 5in. G2's are 8in., and G3's are 9 1/2. Not a monstor to some but im happy with him.

Thanks alot guys for all the compliments. I appreciate it. I took him to the taxidermist today and he scored him right before I left. 138 5/8 after deductions. I was kinda dissapointed with the price on a shoulder mount though. He is charging $450 and another one in town is charging $350, but I have heard he is kinda slow since he works full time on the fire department. But I shouldnt have to worry about the quality as he has a good reputation.

I took this deer here in scott county. There are some really nice bucks running around this year. I passed 10-15 different bucks that should be real nice deer next year. I agree I dont think the money will be missed one bit when I go to pick him up this spring. Are you hunting in Corbin? Thats a pretty good area as well.
