2016 Mn firearms season buck
Opening morning of the the 2016 MN firearms deer season I had some luck on my side finally. I shot myself a nice 8pt buck. I hunt Central MN and am in the shot gun slug hunting zone and this guy walked within 25 yards which was his fatal mistake.

Awesome Buck...Congratulations!
I saw a few Illinios Bucks at a Whitetail Show a few years ago that had similar holes in their Antlers,a Guy there told me it from Bugs or Parasites that get into the Antlers at an early stage/velvet and bore holes that cause it?

That's a great-looking buck! Congratulations, man! I didn't know parasites can infect a buck's antlers, though.

Nice buck, dude. Never seen anything like those antlers.
I hunt just west of you in the Detroit Lakes area. Looking forward to 2017.
