[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2327585, member: 109862"] Congrats! That’s a heck of a deer, such unique antlers, how thick they are. As the previous poster stated, “mass for days”. All the more remarkable for a “first deer”. You may take a higher scoring one some day but this one is just plain DIFFERENT. Gonna be hard to top…that’s the upside if you’re first deer is a spike buck (mine when I was 14), easy to outdo yourself! But you’re starting out with the bar set pretty high…this might be like anniversaries, you do something really nice and extravagant for the first year and think it’s a good idea…only to find that this makes all subsequent anniversaries disappointing!!!🤣. All kidding and stupidity aside, congratulations, and thanks for the details on shot placement and terminal performance too, we always wanna know those details…how far back did you hit him? It’s crazy that he’d drop right there from a less than ideal hit at that range. Did you happen to hit the liver? Reason I ask is that happened to me once, didn’t follow through on a slowly moving deer moving slightly downhill, absolutely blew up the liver, the buck staggered about 5 paces and piled up. Learned something. [/QUOTE]
