[QUOTE="Claims Rep., post: 5691927, member: 15252"] I killed the buck on the left (in first pic) the day before, so I slept in while the other guys in our camp went hunting the next morning. That afternoon I went into an area I had hunted once before back in Nov. 2018. Again, I pulled up to where I wanted to go and no one was parked there (probably 50% of the time someone is already nearby). I walked in and climbed where I had planned, again based on having the right wind, as well as having studied topo maps previously. This time I was 30' up. At 4:20pm I hear a deer walking to my right. I looked over in time to see a deer walking behind a massive oak, which blocked the deers view of me. I immediately turned that way and brought my shotgun up, just in case it was a shooter buck. As you can imagine, once he cleared that big oak I quickly determined he was in fact a shooter…. This guy had points going everywhere, and it was clear by the way he was walking that these were "his" woods! He was around 65 yards from me when I shot him with a 20 gauge slug gun, and he went straight to the ground. He lifted his head once, and that was it. At this point I just stopped what I was doing, watched him through the scope for several minutes to make sure he wasn't faking it, and thanked the good Lord for his blessings. While I did do everything right from a hunter perspective, God has to orchestrate this kind of thing. So I climbed down, get over to him, and am honestly shocked at what I find. He's got tons of mass, a split brow tine on his right side, an extra 15" main beam on his right side, a broke off main beam on his left side… just an incredible buck.
