Beautiful pics, nice buck and congrats on the first of many hopefully on your homelands!
We went off Saturday evening to hunt my little place . We saw 1 small 8 point and 8 does late in the day right at dark . My bud had a cold and said in the morning go ahead I will sleep in . At very first light I saw one lone deer sneaking along and never identified what it was other than pretty large .
At around 7 am a real small 8 point came out right beside me and stood in my road eating acorns . He wasn't legal and I just watched him for a while . He wandered off and I watched other areas as it seemed he was all alone .
Well I could still see him off in the distance and when I looked back at him later another buck is approaching him in a I will bully you good stance and it was clear he was legal and long tined .
So after the little said no I don't think so and eased off some he followed him . I said I do think you being a bully has ended your career my friend .
Then I KABOOM
He went down so fast I lost sight of him and the other buck trotted away and then stopped and eased back and looked a little confused down in the tall grass. As he trotted away I saw why the larger buck was so testy as there was 2 does that the larger buck was with .
So after a good while of owning this place I FINALLY did the deed . He isn't a very old deer and he is a 7 point ,but boy howdy does he have some long times . He was in very good shape body wise and should eat quite well .
I couldn't find him out in the sea of tall grass for a good bit and in my wanderings in the open area I came up on a dandy shed and within 10 feet of it a torn up mesquite . Whoever that shed belongs to remains unseen on camera or by us but to be sure he is a big old boy .
Sunset Saturday evening was splendid and I got a skinned iced down buck in my ice chest to keep me busy a day or 2 .
Was a nice hunt and the weather was real mild and to be sure I feel blessed to harvest a deer on my own place for the first time .
hope you enjoy the read/photos and have a great day .

Congratulations! Nice buck for sure.
Be safe and good luck fishing
I feel I almost shot that deer! Good story and great deer picture. Impressive rack! Keep up the good stories and yes you can Kaboom once in a while it's okay! Also, a good find on the shed! Maybe he will appear one day if he is not decease or moved away completely.
Cool buck, congrats
Real nice buck, congrats on the KABOOM !!
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
Congratulations on the great harvest. A nice set of antlers and a healthy looking frame, should eat well.
Nice buck,congrats. Looks like a good one for the smoker.
