Love those cold weather pics.  Beautiful animal for a not so fair weather hunter.

Thanks for bringing me on your hunt and Congratulations on a beautiful buck!

I think I'll set my stand next to yours next year.  Its been a year of success buddy, can't wait for next year... lets go hunting

"trying to let my brain catch up to what my body just did".

This line encompasses the feeling I've had after shooting a few bucks in my time. The time between knowing you are about to shoot up until after the shot is a blur. In this state your body just seems to take over and with repetitive practice a well placed shot is hopefully made. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and congrats on a fine specimen.

Wow!
