Well...I'm tagged out on bucks

Shot a nice 8 pointer last night. He is not the monster I have been after, but with second gun season starting tomorrow, and hunting being tough already...I decided I would take the next nice deer that gave me the opportunity.

I sat in a stand I hadn't sat in yet right on the edge of some timbered river bottom. I watched a couple bucks spar a little...then saw a couple does and a buck feeding in the timber...when this guy showed up. I put a great heart shot on him, and followed a great blood trail through the snow right to him. He made the last 20 yds. tough by crossing the river, but we got him.

He field dressed 180lbs and has a broken G-3 on his left side. He will be a good looking euro mount. I had a hard time getting pictures, because of the weather, and my family didn't get home til late...but I did the best I could. By time I was ready for the "good pic" he was frozen solid.
