That buck looks about like my first buck. It had quite a large body, but not much for antler mass. Pretty good eating too, which, honestly was a surprise to me! Congrats on a nice buck!

Thanks for the repleies guys, I saw some nice ones with the bow but you know how that goes sometimes. When holding out for a nice trophy its a chance you have to take and then before you know it the last weekend of hunting season is upon you so you lower your standards. Several years ago I ended up eating tag-soup too, how in the hell does a person go without filling a deer tag in Montana? By being too choosey. It sure ain't from not seeing deer as I see them in my yard just about every day. But the"re my pets as they come right up to the kabin here and have a couple salt licks out so I can watch them. Sorry didn't mean to ramble on, The forum was getting kinda boring and have heard enough about the 270s, thanks again guys, Bobby

ps Elknut, I resemble that remark.

Just one more thing, yes it was a very big bodied deer, about the size of two full grown whitetails. When I hung him he was 9 ft in length from antlers to its feet. I don't know its exact weight but after I dragged him back to the truck I believe it weighed around 1500 lbs. Bobby
