Man, that's a really nice buck! Congrats! I've been in your shoes, and it's not easy to figure out how different properties work!

Congrats that's a dandy!

Thanks everyone for the nice words. I'm glad I was able to share this with you all. It's nice to have others appreciate the wonders of the outdoors as much as I do. As to the county of this deer previously asked about by one of the members, Jasper County.

Cool, that was me. I thought for a moment though that I might have some trail cam pics for you...but whew, not to be. :way:

Awesome buck! Nice job taking advantage of the small opportunity you had.

Thats a monster! Hope you are planning on getting a salvage cape and having him mounted.

Despite the coyotes getting your meat, it was still a good decision to back out and not push the deer.
