My neighbor stopped in here a little while ago to show us the buck he hit about 1/2 mile down the road. We've heard about him, and actually saw him a day or two after gun season closed. He crossed the road in front of us about the same place the neighbor hit him. Dang shame.

Crappy pic of course. Mainframe 10. Counting the junk around the bases, 15 scoreable. Dang shame.

Its a big old Ford farm truck, just dented the bumper a little. He said the deer bounced off the truck and on into a field. He went on into town, and when he came back he saw the deer laying dead. It is a shame. It's one of 'em that would really get your attention in the woods.

My neighbor doesn't know anything about deer. He lives on a farm, but doesn't know how to turn a dead animal into food. So, I told him I'd take care of it for him, call it the Christmas spirit runnin wild...or stupidity. Anyway, after gutting it and caping the thing, I made a few measurements. Not enough to score it mind you, just enough to give an idea. 22" inside spread, 30" main beams, 11" g3's, 6 1/2 bases. I took some more crappy pics I'll try to post.

Oh yeah, two wounds that appear to be from a 22, and at least one from an arrow. Haven't even cut into the meat yet!

Yes. Not many deer make me say "dang"...this one did. I snapped a couple of pics of the head and cape on the floor of my garage, I'll post 'em when I get around to it.
