Birthday Wish Granted - #1 Hit List Buck Goes Down Today

[CuivreDog]

Today was my 55th birthday and I got a present I wasn't counting on. I have a long history with this buck having missed him last year with my bow and being heart broke over the last year. He showed back up in velvet mid-summer and then disappeared again until late October. Today was the day we met again - this time with a different outcome. Any guesses on score as I suck at that?

To bad my birthday is the summer or I would ask for one of those for a present!! Congratulations on a great deer. My best guess is he will be close to the 160" mark. Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday and great shot placement! One sure doesn't have to look long to see if that is a shooter.It looks like he walks with his head perfectly straight so he doesn't tip over.

145 - 150". Doesnt matter cause that is a dandy. Congratulations!

Well..................I got another pleasant surprise this morning. I finally got around to pulling all of my deer cameras for the year and low and behold I had another set of pictures from the deer I killed on November 16th taken just 4 hours before our meeting. Here are the additional pics I added to my collection to document him.



















and finally...............one last picture on the ground!

I haven't had him scored yet.

The taxidermist that I took him to is an official B&C scorer and he will be scoring it for me before returning it.

When I dropped it off he said it was "a deer built for scoring" and would make the 160 cutoff but nothing official yet.

Fingers crossed!

Great buck, congrats! Any update on score? Definitely not important, just curious.

No - not yet.

He is still at the taxidermist. I'm supposed to be able to pick him up in May at which time he will be scored.
