That picture (#25) is from my hunting partner. Deer is known and the goal was 170 net before the bow is pulled back. This spring he spent many nights on a hill watching this deer through his spotting scope. In the end he spent every night looking and one night the horns were gone. That picture is the next morning as he was walking up to the horns. It is heavy with heavy point and the color is good even now. But it never has had a fifth point but a four point buck and as the horns have grown so have the stickers. It may never reach the goal but as now with a 18" spread it gets close. The deer is known by others whos reputation is known, daylight or artificial light, license or not, in season or not they will kill. But they are road hunters and the success ratio with that is low.
Next year hopefully he will get a chance again to make a decision on pulling the string back or not for the meat in the locker. The deer is in its prime and it will be hard not to pull the bow back.
In the meantime he has spread his genes for future generation over the last few years.
I know he will work hard on this and the work will help his luck.
I do wish him well. db
