Was the broken main beam shot off or did you just happen to shoot it right after it broke off? It appears to be pretty jagged, so it must not have had a chance to rub many trees since it was broke off. That is a very cool buck with a ton of mass.

Found this pic interesting, I stock some roosters in late September and give them plenty of time to go feral.
Stocked a few roosters and hens spring of 22 and 23.
So either the cover is good enough for birds to survive or they pulled off a hatch?
I guess a neighbor could have put some birds out this fall but they don’t have any of that kind of cover or CRP within a couple miles? And why release hens in fall, illegal to shoot.
I have had roosters winter over and seen one or two in spring.
Right along the Big Woods tonight, has been like this every morning and evening for over a week. Neighbors winter wheat, they are bedding in pasture and back side of woods.
Makes me think we are doing something right.
Pic is bad I was on the way into work tonight when I went by.
