Title: I think this is the one I'm not supposed to shoot...

When I got permission to hunt 120 acres of private land last year, the landowner told me about a buck with a BIG rack that they didn't want me to shoot.  I have a feeling this is him.  I only have night pics so far of him, but plan to show the pic to the landowner.   There is another BIG bodied deer on the property, but he has only 4 points and is not legal for an adult to shoot.  I may have to adopt a child...  ;D

Nice buck for sure :icon_thumright:
I noticed that it said 27 degrees on the camera.
Has it been that cold up there?

At that time it was that cold.  It was getting into the 30's on a regular basis for around a week.  Not quite that cold now.

Honestly I would rather shoot a doe.  Pics from the side of this guy show that he is an older, big bodied deer.  I hunt primarily for food.  If I shot him, I would have to have him mounted, and I don't have an extra $500 laying around.  ;)
