the only thing I know to say is WOW.... I've never seen a deer that big. congrats.

WOW is that a dandy, congrats.

Congrats!  

WOW, OMG what a buck! And, while hunting from the ground! Great, short story as well.

I got cold chills when you said you "couldn't help but let out a scream" when you found him. Heck, I almost even got a little watery eyed. Love your enthusiasm and I'm very excited for you.

Terrific deer.  Great story.  Congrats.

You should put him in Comptons, for sure.

I held off waiting for the story. Congrats on a great buck and hunting season! Sounds like you put in the work and reaped the rewards. Look forward to the mounted trophy when it comes back.  

Magnificent animal. Congratulations.

Wow. That is a truely exceptional buck. Especially this late in the season. I know scores are not important but I would sure be interested to know what he measures. Just out if curiosity. What a beautiful buck.

Awesome buck. I know it happens, but shooting a buck of that magnitude off the ground is pretty special, and rare. Congrats.

Congrats. The buck of a lifetime.

Excellent!

Awesome!!!!!! Praise God for it all! Well done.... I would love to see more pics and angles. I want to see all 17pts of that wonderful animal!!!:-) Either post or email! Happy for you!

Nice.  I have het to see a deer in Michigan with tines of that length.  Great genetics right there.

OOOOOH!  Very nice.    And done from the ground too.   Congratulations!

My goodness, what a brute!  I can't imagine such, especially from the ground a-la-natural!  Congratulations sheepdog, you didn't give up and you kept it together when it counted!
