Default Target Buck Down

I was fortunate enough to take my target buck this year. I had him on cam all summer in the deep bush, and I'm glad he stuck around.
After standing on this one cut line not far from my sightings for a couple days, things got serious very fast on morning of Nov 12.

I first noticed a doe crossing the line about 40 yards down from me. It slowly made it's way across and I was holding out for more. About a minute later, more movement in that direct. Safety goes off, I scope it and see big G4's so I knew he was good. I gave a couple quick grunts to slow him down, then boom! I managed to catch lungs and heart. He barely made it 10 yards into the trees.
I couldn't be more happy! He scored over 157.

Nice deer! Is it just me, or does the body on that thing look huge?

That's a solid deer! Well done!

Also it looks like a LOT of meat. Is it the photo or is he really that big?
