A legend is finally gone

I went shed hunting Thursday and found the buck I have been chasing for 4 years. It was an emotional experience as I feel like I lost an old friend. Finally the quest for him is done. He peaked at over 200 inches of bone but got a leg injury last winter and caried it into this year. He had lost 30 pluse inches this year and grossed out at 170. I have picked up a shed off of him the past 2 years and feel very fortunate to be the one who brings him home.

I'm not sure how he died but he had something wrong with one of his front legs. I only know of one guy seeing him this year he told me he never fired a shot. We have had a lot of issues with trespassing and spot lighting this year. I just hope he ran himself to death chasing does. I only had one chance at him in 2011 and didn't make it happen and in 2012 I had my 12 year old out there he passed by us at 50 feet and my boy couldn't find him in the scope. i had already taken my one buck so he was off limits to me. I think thAt was my all time most exciting hunt. I saw him once more in 2013 I jumped him up on a buffer strip a mile away on the opposite side of the property.That deer brought me lots of joy and a lot of misery over the last 4 years. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I will say I don't think I ever want to get so involved with a deer getting to know it and all.

Impressive head gear.... I'm guessing he was 5-6yrs + old.... death rate is high when they get that old in the wild
