Hello Jim, Nice Deer!...but I don't agree with your statement "not as good as Hope's though". Getting a deer the quality of your buck within bow range is no easy task an once you have him "in there" executing the shot is sometimes difficut also.....you have taken quite a trophy!.....and what is a trophy anyway? The greatest trophy I ever ever experienced while bowhunting was a doe that I never harvested....but a season of hunting her (or the area she was in) taught me more about wind and stand selection than several previous seasons before....this "trophy" I take to the stand every hunt! Congrats Jim!...and good hunting to all......
