Well after reading the dwarf deer thread the other day, I never thought I would see such a thing or really hear of another...the good Lord has a sense of humor! It has been a fun year seeing a lot but haven’t seen a mature deer to kill which has been frustrating. My last chance was the Cedar Creek SOA with my buddy this weekend. After scouting in the rain for 3 hours, we decided to spend the remaining 2 hours hunting. My buddy said to just sit on the ground on a field with him because he’s killed already this year and that I was the shooter. It was misreable...the rain picked up...we were freezing...the whole 9 yards. I even had to convince my buddy to stay the last hour at 4pm that it would be good if the rain slacked. Well after grunting and rattling, not 10 min later with the rain slacking my buddy spots a deer walking out from our left. Immediately, we both said shooter with how big his rack looked compared to his body (had to make sure with the regulations of the hunt on antler size). I then squeezed off and after a few put down shots, there he lay. We were ecstatic and elated to kill this biggun only to walk up and see his legs were tiny as well as his body and nose! Come to find out later, I myself had killed a dwarf deer! He was 125lbs literally soaking wet yet 4.5 years old with a 16” spread and 20.5 beams meeting both requirements for the hunt! The good Lord not only has a sense of humor but has blessed me immensely! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/J71NvnY/3-E6-B4-F69-49-BC-430-A-857-D-ED8-BA052-C710.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/ypFhKhm/4672-CB9-A-44-A2-4142-9-CDB-D9-F3237-F52-D2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/p4RJwJc/7392968-C-8-C68-4-E4-F-8892-5-C4-C0-D452395.jpg)

Nice!!!! We had one killed like that. When we saw it on trail cam all of his body structure screamed mature. We figured that if he was a 200lb deer he would be a 150" plus 8 point. Guy shoots him and he weighed 140lbs. Still a great 8 point at 135" but it was not what we were expecting.
"I'm not near as critical about how big they are as I once was. Smiles are more important now! We will grow more deer."

I shot a nice 8-point once. Was shocked when he weighed 135.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

Congrats! What section were you in? I’m headed to section 2 in a couple weeks for the last hunt.
There are no rainy days...

You’ve taken the elusive dwarf buck. Congratulations. Glad to see you finished the story I couldn’t. Get the full mount, it’s a paper weight worth talking about. Man I feel bad about your dwarf deer and didn’t wanna steal your thunder so added the sequel part...wish I had the money for a full mount or I would!
