Nice buck, but what I saw first, and miss greatly, is the hardwood forest in the background. Sure there is some underbrush and a thicket here and there, but it is mostly open. Around here you can't see more than 15 feet in any direction when in the woods. Too much undergrowth which makes hunting very difficult which is why they probably use dogs to drive the deer.
Weird, the things that one can miss.

We're about an hour north of Tarbe, but I'm thinking I want to go hunt his land. Nick got skunked last weekend, after which we saw a nice buck out running along the highway when we drove to town. D'oh!

tarbe, very nice! Is that a 9 or 10 point rack? Looks like your freezer is going to have a lot less space!

Don't hunt like I used to, but I'm an evangelist for Barnes. Been loading 140g for the .270 for many years. Great bullets.

If you can hang a ring on it, it counts.
