dave, sorry its taken me so long to get this posted on here
i shot this buck at 5:10 on jan 20th. ive been hunting this piece of property with a friend for a couple years now. his dad has had us on "doe patrol" to try to get the ratio down. he finally gave me the go ahead to shoot a buck. i had seen several big deer in and around this particlular field in the past. on the evening that i shot this buck i had been watching a 3 1/2 8 pt. i almost shot him, but i decided to wait and see if anything bigger showed up. 10 minutes later this guy walked out.... im glad i waited.
here is a better shot of the busted off tines.
