Rainy morning leaves dripping with the wind, looked up and he was 40 yards and closing. Shot at 30.

Broadhead took out the good stuff but foxes took the taxes

Cool deer!

 

[madtom]

Cool antlers on him. What did the ear tags say?

 

[FranklinME]

U of Delaware but we’re 15 miles from the border in MD. I’ll call Monday and try to figure it out there’s a number on the tag.

Nice palmated rack.

Congratulations! Thick necked ol' boy and great palmation in that rack.

 

[Hunting Wife]

Cool buck. Congrats!

 

[Pucky Freak]

Love those no neck bucks

 

[Nick87]

That palpation is awesome and the ear tags make it an even cooler story!

 

[BrentD]

Cool rack but those ear tags are even more curious. I'll be interested to hear what you find out.

 

[Chris76]

Nice buck.

 

[JLS]

Holy palmation!

That is just a cool buck. Ear tags, swelled neck and a heavy, palmated rack too boot. Let us know if you find out anything on the ear tags. I shot a buck in northern WI during the 2014 gun season that had metal ear tags. When I called the WI DNR, they were able to tell me the entire life history of the buck. They also asked me to mail back the radio collar. I said the buck didn't have a radio collar. The DNR official went back through the telemetry data and found out the radio collar had fallen off a couple months prior. Pretty darn neat.
