Congratulations! That is one heck of a way to start a deer hunting career.

Great memory for the whole family right there. That smile says it all. What an awesome buck!

srwshooter,
Our lease is a little south of Glade Hill. We have taken some very good bucks off of this property but this one is one of the best, if not the best.
It is surely the largest body deer we have killed. We had a great mast crop last year and the year before and it helped both antler development and size.
