You got choices!  Best of luck Nerdneck!  

That 9, I'd love to just see him in the flesh.  I've seen that tall 8 twice now, and the smaller 8 a few times.

 

I've been watching that 9 all year on the cameras though!

That 9, this is a different deer right?  Brow tines on him are massive, maybe this is his son?  Same big crab claw on the right......  Haven't had a picture of him since late October.  I guess my feeding program is working if there's 3 real good shooters.  Spot I got him was about a mile away by foot.

Just dropped him off at @518BowSlayer's shop (excellent metal playing in the background) during lunch.  I'm convinced it has to be the same same deer.  The right brow tine was throwing me off, but looking at it closely, I think he broke it.  No way you're gonna see that double brow on the trail cameras.  Plus I haven't had him on cam in over 3 weeks.

Which would make this the very first time I've had a #1 target that I've actually harvested.  Gives me the warm fuzzies.  So here's an homage, not without some sadness which will disappear once he's beside my fireplace.
