Nice buck... The game camera photo appears to have scared him, neat
picture.


Yeah, you can tell his reactions were very quick. The flash startled him
and he had time to cock his head back before the camera triggered. I had
anothere photo of the deer at a scrape, a day or two before he was taken,
but I gave both photos to Kyle for his hunting jounal.

Here in the Northwest, we would consider that a 5 x 6. If it was a 5 x 5
we consider it a 5 point.

Apparently they are scored differently in these parts. Our part of the
state with the exception of Wilkes county, isn't considered a BIG deer
region. This deer was young, perhaps 3 to 3 1/2 years, but he did have a
nice rack.

I bet he was a very happy kid.

Yes, very happy. His dad is quite religious and told me that he had not
only prayed that Kyle would get that deer, but he also prayed that he
wouldn't see the deer himself. A bit extreme to my thinkin', but to each
his own.

I was happy that Kyle killed the deer, rather than some of the other folks
that hunt near our property. Kyle's a good 17 y.o. kid.

I didn't/won't get to hunt this year, so I didn't have to pray that I
wouldn't see the deer :~^ )
