This is the OP.
Thanks for all the positive comments and sharing in my good fortune.
Again, I'm just the trigger guy who is too dumb to stop when I should. The people who helped are the the ones deserving of any credit.
Thanks again.

This is awesome. Far more important than any deer is Boone-&-Crockett-class friends and family - and it seems you've got that in spades.
Nice buck, and I salute you and your drive to get it done and all the luck in the world on your future hunts. This 100x...congrats to you and may you lots of success in the future.

Sorry about your eye condition but a big congrats to you on an awesome trophy! Great story too!
P.S. Don't ever be afraid to post pics of yourself and your game. It's not bragging. You're just showing your buddies something you're very proud of.

Wonderful story! I'm happy and proud of every deer I take. The size of the antlers has nothing to do with the size of the trophy.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
