I killed this bruiser on opening day of this year. I had just got through killing a doe and had not even chambered another round when this big guy started to run into my woods from the field - I literally had just fired 3 shots at this doe about 1 minute before he ran in. When I seen him, I pulled up the shotgun and scoped him and then pulled the trigger only to hear a click. so I chambered a round on my 870 real quick and not to my surprise, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned broadside to me and started a fast trot parallel to me at about 40 yards. I followed him in my scope until he cleared the big pile of thickets he was in and then BAM I nailed him right through the neck and down he went for good. I have been waiting a VERY LONG 3 1/2 MONTHS for him but I was very happy to to have picked him up about 1 hour and 19 minutes ago. So here is my first mount, not my first deer or buck but my first one worthy of mounting. He dressed out at 205 which is a pretty good size Indiana whitetail. Man if this doesn't give a guy the fever nothing does.
