Shot this guy directly below my climber on October 3rd. He dropped, I kept looking at him wondering exaclty how many points he had. Then when I finally got down I was a liitle surprised because he only had 5 points. But to date, this was my largest body-size buck I ever harvested. Field dressed at 225lbs. Huge for West Michigan.

That's a great deer! It is also one of the reasons I oppose QDM mandates imposed as regulation. Most QDM regulations would prohibit the killing of a mature "cull buck" such as this, and he would be free to pass on the poor genetics he has for antler development his entire life. That's called high grading.

Yup.... now starting last fall bucks in Michigan must have at least 3 points on one side to be harvested, This guy would have BARELY made that benchmark. And in many hunting scenarios many hunters probably wouldn't notice that he had a third point and in turn would not shoot him. And then he'd still be out there breeding. My butcher said this buck was at least a 5 year old, so this was probably the best he was going to get.
