Nice buck, to each his own for sure, but.......
In my mind that's not hunting. I have on many occasions seen nice bucks in our pasture after my "hunt".
Again, his decision to take this deer, but my idea of hunting is from a ground blind or treestand. That's where I get the thrill. Not shooting from my back porch for the sake of saying I killed a deer. Flame if you want, but I would have tipped my hat to him and went to work. Hope to get him next year. Again, not saying this guy is right or wrong, just stating my opinion. I realize dead is dead, but that's a heck of a deer to be shot as an afterthought...
