nice buck......................what's the story behind him?

Well, I went to the woods the first day, knew I have some rubs and scrapes from what appeared to be a really enthusiastic immature buck rubbing twigs and very small saplings, smallish scrapes nothing special. granddaddy works the other side of the ridge, he is still there, beat this one senseless just minutes before I killed it, it was bleeding from inch deep horn puncture wounds and gouges still. But he didn't seem slowed much, I was on my way in, running late, eased down my trail through a cane thicket and noticed a deer next to one of the small scrapes I had noticed and saw that it was working it. He strolled into a thick spot and I knew where he would come out so I aimed at the hole about 130 yards off with my Encore 25-06 and cocked the hammer just in case it was a doe. Again, big horns never crossed my mind and at our camp if we shoot a buck before a doe it better be a hoss cause he costs you 150.00 regardless. (we have a lot of hunters in the camp shooting immature bucks yet we have a 12/1 doe/buck ratio, the fine is necessary and they had to make it across the board because of the difference in ones trophy class to the next, I support it and was willing). well he walked directly into my crosshairs and I saw the four long tines on the good side and squeezed, ran 50 yards and fell dead directly under my stand. 23.5 and 24" main beams, 22 inches wide 13 points scored, but I called him an 11 and didn't originally call the two stickers on the brow tines points, but they were an inch, gross score was 161 net 147.5. weighed 215 which is huge for the bottoms where I hunt, their main diet is acorns. Here he is when I found him.
