Not my biggest buck, but hands down the coolest looking I've ever shot! Split mainframe 12pt (only counting 1" or more) with double brow tines on both sides. I watched him beat the snot out of a small 6pt for about 5 minutes before he gave me a clear shot.

124yd, step downhill, shot offhand from a ladder. 18" Tikka T3x in .223, shooting 77gr TMK handloads. He ploughed maybe 20yds with no front legs. Lungs were completely vaporized.

I haven't found the bullet yet, but there's no exit in the hide. I'll get him butchered over the weekend & see what's what.
 
Cool looking buck. Congrats.



Not going to lie, you tripped me out in that first pic compared to the other pics. I thought how are his sides flip flopped in the other pics. Then realized the first pic was in selfie mode lol.
