After chasing after a few very big deer that were nocturnal up until disappearing all together, I still had this guy showing up on cams. It was hard to tell his quality in most of the pictures, but I decided to pop up in a stand I hadn't been in yet this year, that he was routinely traveling past. I wasn't there for more than an hour when I saw him making his way in. He couldn't have given me a better shot as he passed me broadside at 15 yards. I stopped him with a soft grunt and the arrow hit perfectly. He made it about 60 yards and crashed in some thick stuff. Definitely not my biggest buck, but I couldn't pass him up for the character alone. He'll look cool on the wall.
