I killed this deer on Thursday. Passed him up two days before, but wasn't seeing anything any better. Looked at 3 - 8 mature bucks a day but everything was inside of its ears and thin horned. Went back in and found him 500 yards from where he was the other day. Loaded him on the wheeler and had about three miles to get him out. As soon as I got him loaded in the truck and headed up the road, a half mile from where I was parked I found the buck I had been looking for all season. 100 yards off the road at a watering hole. 28" wide, as heavy as this buck and deep forked all the way around, just about made me want to cry. I looked at over 30 bucks 4 point or better and the second I settle a big boy walks out just to mock me. Oh well maybe next year.
