Successful season!

[CedarSwamp]

It's tough in our heavily hunted area (Lisa much of WI) to get a buck to 4 yrs old but we were able to pass this guy up as a 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 yr old to get him to 4 1/2. We shot him in gun season and he scored 152" gross. He was busted up as a 3 1/2 yr old and 5 of our hunters passed him up that year. When most every buck we pass up gets shot it's pretty neat to have passed him up and harvest him as a mature deer!
I wasn't able to get one of the harvested pics of him uploaded but will try again later.

Thanks everyone! There are so many times when things don't work out that it makes the successes that much more appreciated!
