Lol. No it did not kill him. When I walked over to him laying down on his left side and seeing his right beam sticking up I had no idea of what I had done. Admiring the size of the horn left on and looking at this huge body he weighed 235# and was some where around 17.5 ' on the outside spread and had no idea this Buck was around of all the pictures I had of other deer I was kinda shocked. Then I'm looking at this huge body and see he is still alive I'm for a bullet hole some where and cannot see one no where then all of a sudden his head kinda moves some and he tries to lift his head and I see the other antler missing I'm like WTH. End up having to shoot him in the neck. Was thinking a little later if that had happen and I was in my stand he most likely would or could have got up and run off because most times it might be and 1/2 hour before I would even get down and go look. Better to be lucky than good some times. Lol. Then after all this where I get my Deer processed at when I go to pick it up the ask me about his weight and told him 235# he said no way and I told it was weighed on one of those flat ground scales they use to weigh pecans on and was a certified scale but he was hanging over. He said they weighed one at 250# and doing mine and that deer mine was bigger.So I have no answer for that. He said they should be weighed on a hanging scale. All I know is he was huge. Killed another on last Friday 1/6 and he was over 200#. Thanks
