Nice pics man! That big one you've been getting lately is a dandy! Hope he sticks around for you early, its your best chance to kill him.
That is a dandy dandy right there! Booner this year no problem prolly!
I don't even care what a buck nets anymore. I actually thing it's a stupid idea to knock a bucks score down to his smallest side. It's all about symmetry to those folks. If the buck grew it why deduct it? Gross is all that really matters to me.
I had one just just like him at 40 yards and got 13 minutes of video of him with my bow in my hand ready to draw, never got a shot either. One year later to the day he came within 45 yards of me and again got just a minute of video and again no shot. He was killed during gun season by a guy that never knew he existed and never killed anything bigger than a 1.5 year old. He scored 195" non typical and was a perfect 6x6 with 25"'of stickers and forks. Its funny how things work out sometimes with these big deer.
That dudes got some mass!
