super nice looking rack, what a pig! congrats. One thing I learned a couple years ago after killing a real nice buck early in the season was that it is a great time to continue to hunt some of the places I know of that I always wondered about but didnt want to waste a day during prime time to check out. Like the little brushy areas or small patches of cover that dont look like a typical place to hunt but in the back of my mind I thought might be an interesting potentially awesome place. Especially likeon opening day of gun season and you set up overlooking a thick briar patch or isolated patch of cover or drainage. I learned a lot that year and although I had to pass up a shot on a buck similar to the one I had already killed, the knowledge was invaluable to me for my future hunts.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions everyone. Really appreciate that. I have a ton of pictures from last year of a deer that looks very similar to this one, but I can not quite figure out if its the same one or not. I also have two low quality pictures from this year that may be the same deer as well. Honestly, I have not had the time to sit down and really study them yet, but I am going to try to post them on here this evening and see what you all think. If it is the same deer, he returned from what I thought was the dead. As far as measurements, have not taken any yet, but I plan to do so for the contest once I get the rack back. I really do not get caught up in score but it would be interesting to know. Thanks again fellas.
