Mr. 16, you're right, he's a great deer for anywhere.
Just the first deer I've seen while hunting in the UP bigger than a forkhorn. It was just really a very special thing to see one like that up there. He was a 4.5 yr old deer (or so they told me @ the DNR check station). Very rare to see a buck of that age class in that area. It's likely the biggest buck I'll ever take up there. And I was grinning for a week.
Thanks all for the congratulations.
