Good recovery of a nice buck, happens to all that spend long enough in the woods. Great that you stuck with it.

There really are some nice bucks down there in Florida.

Good for you for not giving up, last fall i shot my first trad deer which was a nice 8 pointer and i didn't find him till the next day.

I knew he was dead and it took me 8 hours of crawling on my hands and knees and busting my way through thickets to find that rascal.

[Marty]

I appreciate all the kind words guys! Still can't believe all this has happened and it's only August 8th!

[Duckbutt]

Inspiring!

Congrats Marty.

Great recovery effort, I know how you felt when you did'nt first him at first. Going to be a nice mount.

[elkken]

Well I suppose a shoulder mount is out of the question    Sorry to hear about your misfortune, thats a dandy buck. Way to stick with it ....

[Robert Honaker]

Don't give up on a shoulder mount...that's one heckuva Florida deer.

Taxidermists can put a cape from another deer on him.

What a great way to start the year - it is a long time until October  

[Bill Kissner]

Glad you found it Marty! I don't know how you guys stand to hunt in the heat. I saw you in bear camp and I know you are tough.....you have to be to hunt with the characters you run with!   :rolleyes:

[FerretWYO]

Marty great work. You did what few could in an unforgiving jungle. That is a great deer.

[AMB]
