Today was a once in a lifetime deal in the deer woods. I was about to give up and go to the house when I heard a deer walking behind my stand.
I froze and, when he walked under my stand, my first reaction was that his antlers looked like a moose's. To avoid scaring him, I had to wait until he was about 30 yards beyond me. Fortunately, I got a good shot and was able to get him. He had 18 points and weighed 150 pounds.
The bad news is that the taxidermy bill is going to be considerable. He is not something that I could pass up having mounted, though. Its extremely doubtful that I will ever even see another deer like that!
