Have you ever wondered what a deer would look like on an HHR?
I shot a 10 pointer yesterday about 200 miles from home and was somewhat worried about how I was going to get it home?
We threw it on top roped through the rear doors and hatch.... No problem, but did get a bunch of weird looks

Hello, This is OnStar- Have you been injured? We have detected the smell of blood.
Nice buck. My father used to go hunting in Glennie, MI- driving there from NJ

Ten pointer? I count seven? Was that a cull buck?

Ya, I guess you say it was a cull buck, there were several small points 1" - 1 1/2" sticking up in front of the brow tines. You can't see them in the photo. Also, one of the brow tines had been broken off a while back, but you could tell it had been there (wasn't counting that one).
I have hunted this area (Leelanau County, MI) for years. It is a QDM area with a limit of 3 points on one side. I was happy to get him as I only had Saturday and Sunday to hunt.

nice deer...ur crazy throwing that thing on your ss though, what did it weigh?

esmarkey

180lbs. I little bigger than those guys you have down there in FL
First time I saw one of those "key deer" I thought it was a dog....

I really didn't have any choice, I didn't want to put it inside. Other than having to clean off the blood today, the car was fine.

Wow there is no way in hell that would go on my car especially if i had an SS. Nice shooting though

Looks like he had a nice body, but needed to be culled. Here in my county we have the 18" rule. Nothing under 18" spread even if it is a cull. Last several seasons it was 15" and the quality of deer has gotten better. The land I hunt on, the owner has introduced Canadian and Kansas deer into the heard in the last 15 years and the normally small bodied east Texas deer on his property have really Bulked up, but his rule is 20" or less. Got my eye on a really nice 5 yr. old 12 point. Next season he'll be ready to harvest if the poachers dont get him first.

You're lucky. I spent two days in the tree and didn't see anything for all the rubs around me.
