In the monthly Nikon Deer of the Year contest, Morrow (known as morrow630 on the site) earned 83 percent of the votes cast for his photo “8 point-21.”
“On the evening of January 6, 2011 at 5:10 p.m., this buck was spotted 70 yards a way,” Morrow wrote in his entry. “The buck walked straight toward me and stopped about 30 yards from me. I shot the buck knowing it had a wide enough spread but didn’t realize how wide until going to take a look about 15 minutes later. This was the biggest buck I have ever killed.”

“This is how I think most deer think of us hunters,” he wrote of the photo showing a doe seemingly sticking its tongue out at the camera. “The does, especially, think they are smarter than us. HAHA”
