Got deer back from taxidermist

The old man and I's bow kills from this November. Great weekend, shot them two days apart. He killed the wide one with a homemade recurve. Gross scored 162", we think likely a 5 year old.

There is for my dads... I was hunting on the far South side of our property at a water hole. He was hunting about 500 yards away from me down a hill and up another on a big ridge top. I heard a grunt from behind and this wide rack deer came out into a clearing and started making a scrape.

This was a deer we have not had on camera and he was all cut up and looked like he had been fighting. He came from my right and I waited until he got to a shooting lane at 25 yards and I drew. As a right hander I turned as far as I possibly could to my right and I was about 3 feet away from vitals and couldn't turn more. I waited and waited for him to take another step and after what seemed like forever I finally had to let he bow down. He stared at me and we had a stare off. He eventually turned and walked down the hill.

I texted my dad, "I just blew an opportunity and the biggest deer I've ever had a shot at" he told me to stay ready and it could come back.

10 minutes later I got a text, "I just shot the biggest deer you've ever blown a shot at".

We waited over night as it was cold and found him the next day. Was really cool.
