Default my 11/05/09 bow kill

I do a lot of bow hunting but have never got a nice buck. Last year I got a good one. 8 point gross score 135" I am pretty happy, I have trail cam photos of him and 2 other nice ones but he is the first one of the 3 I got a shot at. Here is a couple pics of him after I got him and a couple trail cam pics of him. And the year on the cam is wrong i forgot to set it to 2009 when i put it out

Great Buck even better you got him with the bow and some snap shots of him! Great memories.

Also, great job in taking does over the years it helps out with deer management and helps increase the buck population by doing this
