Taken by John. From John: Yup, it was a real struggle to get here into my carrier. She's as big or bigger than any buck I ever shot. The guy at Grizzly's said she was at least 3-1/2 years old. She was totally white faced so I knew she wasn't a fawn.

Brandon reported a little four point from the loop stand. “ Hard to see but there is a little 4pt. by me. Could have shot about 10 times with all the opportunities it gave me but I let it go. Really nice tall tines with the 4pts. Split up top. This one next year will be a great deer if it makes it. Very tall tines with a basket 4 up top. Way over the ears.... just still inside of them.

They are behind these branches so I don't have a shot at the moment, but if they come closer or move a bit more I'll have an opportunity. Then: There was a bigger one but 4-6 of them were facing me. This was the only 1/4 towards deer and it was offhand from like 250. I'll take it
