The kid and his friend
They went out about an hour before sundown. His friend shot this:
When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

Not bad for a couple of 18 year olds...

Amen bro, amen. But lemme ask you a question. That rack is no doubt whitetail, but the forehead not only has that slate grey in it. But also the bushy forehead of a Muley. Any chance, based on where you guys hunt and live it's a hybrid?
It's possible. There are whiteys and mulies all over the mountain we hunt. A few years ago, my trail camera had pic of a buck that had a whitetail antler on one side and a mule deer antler on the other. I didn't think much of it at the time, I just figured it was a genetic defect.

You guys have it scored?
The skull/antlers are at the "carrion beetle guy" getting prepped for a European mount. He said he would green score it for the boys when they pick it up.

It looks like there is another deer hanging in the barn...

Good kids! These deer were taken about 3 or 4 years ago, IIRC!

Doesn't surprise me in the least. More big deer have been killed with ratty old pie plate accuracy 30-30s than by all the Weatherbys in the world combined. And I say that as the proud owner of a Lazer Mark Mark V 300 WBY Mag.
My old across the street neighbor, an old retired School Superintendant from South Texas name of Cecil Roundtree, had a whole wall full of monsters he killed while sitting on top of a telephone pole on a sendero in South Texas. He said the furtherest he shot was 75 yards.
