I will start out by saying I did not shoot this buck. My father did. It has 13 points 21 inch inside spread and 5 1/2 bases. It is by far the largest buck he has ever shot. What makes it even better is he just retired and finally has time to do all the huntinghe missed out on.

The pics don't quite do this deer justice.

Nice buck and a great for your father, in being retired and shooting this fellow. Better than any I ever got, I'd say I shoot the little ones because they are more tender, but actually they are all I ever see.

Wow that is a very nice buck. I'm still waiting to take my once in a life time buck. Maybe this year.
