Beautiful deer.  Maybe you get lucky like a friend of mine who shot this one's twin brother except it was the opening day of primitive weapons season (1st Saturday in Oct.).  This was about 15 years ago in South Georgia.  The velvet had not been rub off anywhere.  The game warden walked up on my friend while he was filling out one of his tags. The game warden said he had never seen a buck go that far into the year with his velvet and wanted to take it in to a game biologist (spell taxidermist) to have it check.  To make a short story long, my friend kept it and had it mounted.

to me, a large 8 point like that is a prettier rack than those with a whole bunch of points.

I think you're right.  I saw that big balanced 8 and didn't look any further.

You are correct.  He does have a split brow tine and a nice dagger growing off the other side.  We have named Him The Dagger Buck.  We got alot of pics of him last year, but he dissapeared during the Firearms season.  It was nice to see that he made it through the year and got MUCH bigger!!
