Never had the opportunity to kill one, but have had 4 within 100yrds thru my 29 years of hunting, 8-10 seen in total (always doing mach 7 the other way) and all north of Rt. 30. Biggest by far was laying under a loading dock in Ravenna Arsenal just outside our sector. No doubt over 200" of nontypical, double drop tine awesomeness. He just watched as I walked thru the open field 100yrds away and humvees drove by on the road multiple times.
This fella missed on gross by 4.5", but ya can't eat em so I don't chase em. If luck & opportunity cross I'll take it lol.
Missed this guy being under my stand by 45mins, 11yrs ago. Watched him grow on camera for 3yrs. prior to neighbor a few miles away getting him...180's.
