That buck was fighting another buck and he said his got run off towards his stand. He could hear antlers smashing while walking in and he wasnt sure what it was until he heard the grunting. Climbed his ladder stand as fast as he could, pumped 3 shells into the gun and the buck ran 40 yards from the stand and stopped for him to shoot. He said the other buck was bigger. This buck was all tore up in its neck region. Looks to have another massive drop tine snapped off the other side as it's a 2" round mark on the main beam where a point broke. We figure this deer was 10+ years old. Not many teeth left in his head.
He also missed a giant buck this year in the same stand. Hes got horseshoes that's for sure lol.
