NICE pix Haze!!!!
I'm glad you posted them!! It does look like "fight damage" to me too. That means he was gunning for the ladies by taking on some other bad boys.
I have one on my wall.......has no brow tines. You can see it's a genetic thing. Would have been a nice 6, with about 6 inch tines. But broke off 3 of them. 2 on one side, 1 on the other. He dressed out at 165 pounds. The morning i got him, i saw another buck as i was driving in. Had one side completely gone. Pretty much like your guy. I had hunted bow season that year too, and the one day in the stand i could hear some big time fighting going on behind me. I couldn't see them, but man, it went on for about 15 minutes.
How long of a shot was it? How far did he go?
CONGRATS again!
