Couldn't have happened to a better guy! Congrats Derik, what a stud! To kill a deer of that caliber, where you did and with a bow is an amazing feat!

Outstanding Deer and story. Lots of good advice there as I too believe a begining hunter gains a lot from killing DEER and then on to bigger stuff if they choose. There is so much to learn in the woods that only experience will teach and some times bad experience. GREAT JOB. bucks like that are why I wear a safety belt. A doe makes my knees rattle after the shot. RC

Thank you all for the very kind comments. I got an email today from the hunter who told me he had photos of this deer. I have several pics, but this one shows pretty clearly that this is the same buck. He put on a split on his left side this year and added a sticker too.

My taxi cut both jaw bones out and told me they look like a 6.5 yo to him. If I run into a wildlife biologist, I'll see what he has to say about them.

It's been 3 days now and I still really can't talk much about it. I'm still in shock. Smiling, but in shock!
