DeereJohn2, thanks for sharing your story. I hunt on Westvaco property at O'Brien lake. There's a Fisher family cemetery on the lease.

Yes. About 325-350 yards SW of the cemetery.

Nice deer buddy.
There have been several nice deer taken in WV this year.

I can't express what I want to say here and have it make sense. Great story and a great buck. Wasn't no way this wasn't going to happen when you took that gun with his loads. Hope this helps you to get past this. I bet he is smiling. Congrats on a Real Trophy of a Lifetime.

Dave, when you sent the photo, I saw the rifle and knew which one it was. I was beside myself for you in your success but as I sit here finally able to process it I am in grief and in elation.
Now that folks have left and the day is winding down I think back to the years of calls or text from Chad when he relayed funny stories or called to discuss the days afield with you while hunting. I can not say I have missed Chad ever as much as I do today. My heart cries and my eyes weep.
Thank you for sharing this buck with me and the story with us all. It truly is a special buck for more reasons than most will ever know.
Fwiw, Big John killed a buck with his .280 a week or so back. While I have little hope of such a buck
I do hope to punch a tag with his .308 before the season is done.

Thanks Ryan. You are a great friend and proud to say you are my friend as well as all of Chads friends. It's been a mellow day today.
