I saw this guy 2 years ago during muzzle loader season, and then again last year on this very day (also Muzzy season). Neither time could I get a shot. I knew he ruled this back corner of our lease, but in the past 3 years I could only get him on camera once.

Not much of a story to share, just another lucky harvest. He was behind me walking down a ridge from my right to left, ending up in a gully directly to my six. (The pic below shows this somewhat.) I knew instantly it was him b/c he has this massive left side. (That is why I call him Schwarber.) He was only 50 yards, but it was so thick I only had the smallest of slivers in which to shoot. The minute he walked into that sliver I pulled the trigger. I was a bit high and right, but got both lungs and he was DRT.

200lbs and a massive buck for these parts.

And one more thing - I just saw that my post above was the 100th post on this board. Many thanks to all of you for making this a place I enjoy reading each and every day.
