Hello all - I figured I better get my two cents in although my Dad summed up the hunt rather nicely. As he mentioned, I was planning on glassing a higher hillside all day but the fog prevented me doing so, wich took me to a lower vantage point overlooking this guy.
We had seen and passed up the buck the previous year because we weren't quite sure what was going on on top of his head - we were afraid it was just unfallen velvet. Well I was able to get my 20 power spotting scope on him this year and was very pleased with all that funk on his head being ANTLER. The shot was 200 yards and the carry out was treacherous. He is my best buck to date.
Thanks for all your comments and glad to see evreyone finds the deer so interesting. Jacob
