Given the conditions this year in Montana, I'm more than happy with this buck. Hell yeah Troy, not a 'bad' buck at all considering. Already chasing does? Other than about an hour on opening morning I haven't been deer hunting yet this year, time is always pain in the ass! Just about caught up and was thinking sometime this week would be a good time to miss a day of work.
