Nice job as usual. Good looking buck. I’ve only seen one buck this lean in all my years: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/otQUjLB.jpg) I’ve only ever seen one deer as lean as that one. Somewhere around 30 years ago I shot a buck that had a good portion of it’s lower jaw missing, presumedly shot off. There wasn’t a stitch of fat anywhere on it’s body. The wound was pretty much healed over, god only knows how long it had been since that deer had eaten.

....if you'd have gone with better camo you could have got him at 4 yards.

Nice buck, congrats, man! There's something almost magical about a big mature 8 point.

Sounds like y'all had a great hunt and congrats on a really nice buck.
Hope you and your dad both draw tags next year.

....if you'd have gone with better camo you could have got him at 4 yards. *grins* I just can't bring myself to don a detailed ensemble in the latest fashion. The non-camo-hobo-look will have to suffice.
