Congratulations, is it as big as the one you killed last season? Not as tall. But wider that that other buck.

That is cool all the way around. Very nice buck. Gonna take an awful big one killed this yr to top that rascal taken with a iron sighted Krag. At least by my vote. Many congrats, way to go!

A great buck and a nicely composed picture to honor the animal and the hunt!
Congratulations!

That rifle brings back memories. One of my uncles used one back in the ‘60’s.
Congratulations KW. 👍

Nice buck congratulations
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Nice buck. Way to get it done "old school". It always amazed me how wide Texas deer look because of their smaller bodies. I thought Jackie Bushman and Bill Jordan killed 24" bucks on every shot.

You’ve always been a snappy dresser! Nice work.
Now get out there and bust one wearing a campaign hat, preferably with a Springfield….
