Looks like the bad dude loves a stinky wallow.

Don, great photo. He looks tough judging by the mood and the mud!

Thanks for the comments. John his back antler was long and it flared off into two branches but wasn't broken although it could appear that way in the image. It had just rained and he was enjoying a large muddy wallow and you could smell him a mile away.

Hi Dave,,,He is a 7x7 almost perfectly symetrical. Don't know if you have seen the 7x8 out in Horseshoe. His rack is quite tall but haven't got close enough yet for a good shot.

That mud bath he took makes this shot appear really wild, great timing.
