Deer - lets see em

I sure wouldn’t complain about a buck like that! What did the “right” buck look like?

Heavy horned 4x4 with deep forks. Longer store. I was sitting on a steep hill glassing when the bigger buck stepped out below me. I had to stand my pack up to rest my gun on it for the shot. As I started to pull the trigger I started to slip down the hill and I ended up sliding down the hill falling backwards as I pulled the trigger and I'm sure I shot over the mountain. The deer started running down hill towards the aspens. I took off after him. I went around a hill to try and spot him. When I cam around the hill there was a buck standing there. I seen horns and took a free hand shot at 150 yards. I got caught up in the moment and thought it was the heavy horned 4x4. Either way I'm still happy with the out come.
 
Here is an oldy...but my best buck to date. Jan 2013, on a ranch south of San Antonio, TX. Both of my kids got to take animals as well ( my son took a big management 3x3 and my daughter, who was 8, a pig).

nice bucks!
 
Nice deer, guys. I've never actually killed a buck of my very own, but I had this one hanging on my wall for a long time, and just pretended it was mine. Then I got hard up for some Friday money and sold it. Please ignore the cool porn 'stache and sweet shades.

I hope I can get my first buck this weekend.....
big buck down!
 
Oldest buck I've shot. Sent the incisor into the lab and they aged him at 8 1/2 years old. Had pictures of him from the year before and he was quite a bit bigger the year before.

Texas 2008.
