Enjoyed your hunt Willy. Congratulations on a great old deer and a clean kill. Your story reminded me of my Dad's early training on me closing in on 60 years ago now---never ever take your eyes off the deer until he is out of sight and more--not even for a second. I can still hear him saying that in mind today.
Thanks all, the buck weighed 234.5#'s field dressed. I scored it at 121 3/8 gross. My guesstimate on age is 5.5 plus. His rack hasn't really changed since I first saw him in 2013 except for mass. I am going to send the teeth in and see what they say he is.
