Boxing day buck to close the season.

Probably the biggest forky I've seen. At 180lbs he was actually only 10lbs shy of a 130" 10-point I shot.
This was one of the more relaxing hunts I've had this season. No fancy stalking or trying to outmanouvre deer. He walked slowly from my left at 3:00pm and stopped right infront of me at 20 yards. Arrow zipped through both lungs and he slowly walked off and collapsed 70 yards later.
Truly greatful for an amazing season hunting with family and friends.
For those wondering about tag distribution. There are three of us that hunt with additional tags. One family member only goes a few times a year at most and we fill their tags early on, then we fill my tags usually in November, and lastly my dad's. Occassionally a friend will accompany us and they'll offer up one of their tags if we harvest something in which we offer most of the deer.
So far we've given away at least 25% of our meat to friends that haven't had time to go out or have been less lucky in their endeavors.

Excellent!
We are lucky we can party hunt in Ontario. The deer hunting would be limited otherwise!! I tend to fill my tags early then party hunt the rest of the season. The hardest part is getting the guys I know to hunt late season! Lol

Congrats again MS.
IMO For some WMU’s it makes sense, for others where the Deer population is struggling they should cancel party hunting until the herd numbers increase.

I watch North Woods Law and I notice they have an abundance of deer in Maine. They also have no party hunting. Wonder if the two are related in some way.
