Congratulations on a great deer! Your watering hole sounds like a spring that is located on a very densely-wooded ridge on one of the farms I hunt. I sat over it once this year, and arrowed a coyote when three of them came to drink in the evening. It had a lot of deer tracks around it, but I didn't see any deer there the day that I hunted it.
OK everyone. Green score of 160 4/8. That's not an official score, just me and a buddy scoring him in the shed. Tried to do it best we could but we are guessing + or - 5 pts either way. Took him to the taxedermist this weekend and will have an official score soon. Thanks for all the responses and congrats. Everyone have a good and safe season.
