Had a slow start to this season. No good ones on cam. Opening day of our gun season, a doe popped up at 20yds, mouth wide open and tongue out. I didn't shoot, as obvious she was running hard, so figured to wait and see what was in tow. One buck, then another, and another, and another. Jeesh, all small but what a conga line! Finally, saw this joker pop out of a thicket, last in line. Gave him a 300gr Rem hp from a 45/70 Encore at 90yds. He took off and only made it 30yds. He was a 12pt, with 5" main beam circumfrances, but had 3 broken points. He dressed at 176#. Nice deer, but we had 2 giants last year, and only one summer pic this year of them. No complaints, very happy with a solid deer.
