On Wednesday morning I had the best day afield I think I may have ever had. I saw 6 deer from my stand after having seen very few this whole season. I managed to put a nice buck on the ground to boot!

Full story (LONG) is in my Hunting Log

Here's a picture for those not wanting to sit through the entire tale

Congrats, Bill! That deer is a great follow up to last years, lol...not sure what you're doin, but keep doin it ! (Kinda like backing up a 9.80s quarter mile run with a 9.79 )

Your bucks dark forehead got me thinking about forehead glands. Here is some interesting info: http://www.deerhunter.com/pages/deer-hunter/deer-info/deer-glands

Thanks guys. I actually have no firm idea of his weight. I went to Bass Pro to check him in and it took 45 minutes for someone to come out. At that point I was not into being there any longer so I just tried to move things along. I knew he wasn't big enough between weight and rack for any P&P so I chose expediency or the closest thing they could get to it at that point.

I have him guessed at 150ish give or take. MB mentioned he thought pushin 170. Either way I am more than happy with him. Here are a couple other pictures that might help with body size.
