Jim,

"I never shot a deer with my bow that I didn't consider a trophy"........so true! neither have I..... I have been bowhunting more years than I care to admit and also carry with me the memory of my first archery harvested deer.... it is still quite a "rush" to get these animals in archery range.....I guess when we loose that "rush" or it ceases to be challenge it will be time to move on to something else.....I hope it never does!!!

I green scored the deer in the pic @ 128 5/8..... he suffered bad  from "ground shrink"....Ha Ha....Looked a lot bigger "on the hoof"!......and I don't know what he weighed but after I pulled him up out of  the "holler" I would have ventured a guess of 500 lb!...Ha Ha

Good Luck with your time in the deer woods.....
