My little brother from Florida was up for the death of my other brother. He was gonna hang out with me on the ranch for a couple days, and catch up. We decided to go look for deer on this last day of late plains rifle season. Started on the first and ended on the 14th. Have seen a total of 5 little bucks since opener, normal year you can pick from 20 or more. Nothing bigger than a still-in-velvet 3 point, and nothing I'd pull a trigger on. This busted up warrior and a small 4 point were together on the new place today, so I decided to punch my tag as it was the only game in town....

That will work nicely. Sorry to hear about your brother.

That’s a nice Buck. Busted up a little for character. And even though it’s under bum circumstances it’s cool that you got to have your brother with you.

Pretty sure all three brothers were on that hunt. 🥹

Nice buck, Don. And condolences on your loss.

I’m still affected by your other write up.

Life goes on.

Congrats on the buck.

That buck looks like a scrapper. Last day success with your little brother. Seems like a fitting tribute to a brother lost. Bettin he’d approve.

That brought a smile to my face, unlike the thread about your older brother passing.

Would like to think that hunt was good therapy for you and your little brother.

Sorry to hear about your older brother, Don. I agree with Scott, all three brothers were on that hunt.

Congrats on a cool buck. He’s got loads of character.

Nice buck and my sympathies.

Those up and comer bucks will be glad not to have that warrior around to contend with next fall.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. He was surely along for the ride.

Congrads Don, life go's on Brother!

huntsman22 condolences on the passing of your brother and congratulations on a "warrior" buck.

Pretty cool ol warrior there! Congrats! Three brothers indeed. I shot my second biggest whitetail buck the first hunting season after my Dad died. I’ve always felt like Dad had a hand in it that morning, and that his spirit is never too far away…especially in the woods. Grief sucks…celebration is way better. 😎
Nice job sir.

Don’t know how I missed this, but awesome work👊, despite the obvious downer associated with the situation.

Love those old, broken up warriors.

Glad you were able to spend time with family.

He had your back one more time.
