Pic is of my second bow kill, lung shot(young ram mouflon on public land) ... I just happened to lay the lung down on a cactus and was cleaning up a bit so put my knife down... When I reached down for the knife it struck me as an interesting pic...

Mine is the first buck I got on camera on a small place I had just bought. I thought someone was messing with me. 14-pt, double split mainbeam 3-yr-old. Place was held up in a lawsuit over the estate for a few years, so no one was hunting him and just by chance, he didn't venture much outside of my woods. He got much bigger the following year and I had a couple thousand pictures of him and many close interactions during the offseason, but never saw him for a shot during season. He was killed 800 yards from my feeder across a creek by a farmer on a tractor with an open-sighted 30-30 while trailing a hot doe. Made me crazy, because apart from the rut, he was as spooky as they get. Would hit my feeder 3 times a day, but zero times while I was hunting (any trace of humans and he vanished for a week). Scored 154 5/8. Low fence less than an hour from Houston.
Named him RayRay Vaguespread after a friend that begged me not to shoot him and some uncertainty on whether he'd make 13 inches inside. When he was killed he measure 17.5 inside, so yes, he would have.
