Not a harvest picture but close enough because it is a deer that I passed up on Saturday the 25th. Had him in my cross hairs twice and both times with the safety off (rifle hunting). I just about punched this guys ticket. He came in and milled around within 30 yards for about 30 minutes, making two scrapes right in front of me. His body was so big that it made his antlers look smaller then they are. When he first stepped out I thought 140, but then I had all that time to really look him over and do some counting. 6x5 very symmetrical strait typical with a hole in the left beam. Figures I ended with added up to 152 net (added the smallest side and doubled then added spread). Took this picture with my pocket camera. Funny, but Oct 25th has always been real good to me. I have a half dozen really good deer that I've taken on this date. If I would have taken this buck, he would have put me over 900 gross inches..., just on bucks taken on Oct 25th! You know where I'll be next year on that same date! This is the area where I picked up 185 inch typical sheds last fall, thats what kept this deer alive for now.
