I was on the way to school today and we passed a dead buck on the side of the road, which closely resembled the deer I always encounter at my fishing hole.

It's an 8 pointer, not really mature, but has really good tine length. probably score 140 B&C.

I really hope that wasn't him. I see him so much I call him mine, and he's got quite the personality too.

The more I think about it, a 140 class buck living in the small woods around neighborhoods and big roads is a hell of a deer.

I really hope that wasn't him! I haven't even hand fed him yet!

go get it and clean its skull and hang it on your wall!

A friend of my nephews has had his eye on a real beauty all through late summer.  The other night he came out of the woods after dark to the road where he was parked off of, and  there was a cop writing an accident report for a car/deer.  He was not happy.  He got half the rack, the other half was wedged to tight into the radiator.  My nephew said he came to school the next day with a major case of the uglies.

I'm not hunting it, it's just such a majestic, beautiful animal. And I'm actually pretty sure it wasn't mine! Thank God!

What changed from 8 am to 9 pm?

I was thinking about the racks, and they're different. Also I drove past it again and it was much smaller than I had originally thought.
