My opening day 11/15/14 Whitetail Hunt

[Jersey Len]

I took this Buck in Delaware County in the Catskill Mountains, early Sat. Morning.  It was a one shot kill through the neck at 50 yards.

Conditions were perfect with two inches of fresh snow on the ground.  He is a seven point buck and dressed out at 185 lbs. This is the heavyest Whitetail Buck I ever shot. His antler spread was only 17 " .

Nice deer Jersy L.  Did you have him aged?  Looks like an old warrior-gray/white face.  Maybe on the way down-hence the smaller rack verses body size.  Might want to grind that old boy into burger!
