7:05 AM, Southern 2B
18 yd shot, 50 yd recovery
8 pt although right G3 is broke off and has just about an inch still left.
 
@ 40 yds, when he stopped after the initial hit, I could see the blood pouring out of him and hear it spilling on the leaves. Got both lungs and a big slice in the heart.
 

 
Was really foggy this morning where I was at and when he was coming in, had a tough time scoping him out through the binocs.  I knew he was fairly heavy, had decent brows and G2's and definitely saw a G3 on the left side.  Put the binocs down and debated...
When he was at 18 yds slightly quartering away, I gave in.  The one I passed up last monday would have defintely "scored" higher but this one has more character and his main beams are actually bladed b/w the brow and G2.   He was a really heavy deer too, at least 3.5 yrs old.  Worst part was, just as he did his death wobble, he fell down a steep ravine..
Got to him a little after 7:30 am and didn't finish up loading him into the truck until 10:30 am and I needed help to do it.

Congratulations Eyes, that's a good looking buck in my book.  Always a trophy, regardless of the rack. 
 
I relocated a tree climber today, figured might be a good time since the corn was knocked down.  Didn't see squat except for a Fox Squirrel on 'roids', man that thing was huge, noisy and, a PITA.  I'm thinking  I may need to do some squirrel huntin'.

Good going Eyes. I  tried to find a old doe today but the bucks wouldn't leave me alone, had two different eights offer me shots at 10 and 25 yds, both while making scrapes, and saw a couple young ones. They were all in the seek phase. Next 3 days look like fishing days rather than hunting weather wise.

Congrats man!  Great buck!!  
 
I was out Saturday evening and the woods were pretty quiet.  I'm off this Thurs through the following Wednesday, so it looks like I'll finally have some time to spend in a tree.  Starting to get some good daylight pics so my hopes are high.

Hurry up and shoot one Esox...I have 7.5 days of unspoken vacation time and my boat has only been out once this year.  Walleye should be hitting once the river comes down a little more....
 
Thanks guys....
