My 15 yo daughter decided last year she wanted to kill a big buck, so she ended up eating tag soup in 2021, having passed up several young bucks up to 115in or so.
This year, she said she wanted to do the same thing, but hunting was slow opening weekend with the cold temps. Monday afternoon, a new mature buck showed up for us out of the same stand I killed the bully buck a week prior. Initially i thought he was broken off, but realized he had a pedicle injury. I told her he was a cull and wouldn't count as her 1 buck of choice, and it took her about a half second to urge me to give her the gun to kill him!
Perfect shot at about 80 yards. 4.5yo 194.7lbs. While skinning out his head for the euro mount, I hit a pus pocket at the back of the injured pedicle. After boiling the skull, I suspect it originated from around those 2 abnormal holes at the base of the pedicle.
