Congrats, Bill, on getting that giant, great looking buck. You put in all the hard work. It feels good when things go right. You've had a terrific season, and it's still only September!

Congrats!!! Great deer and patience. Also, what a great friend who drove 8 hours. I thought I was sick, but your friend got me beat.

Yeah he ain't right

Great story and an OUTSTANDING BUCK! Congratulations!
My guess is that he left some of his genetics in the younger bucks of your area. Now the wait for the taxidermist to finish your mount.

I originally missed the 8 hour drive thing. That's awesome.

Very nice! Congrats to your daughter. Nothing better in my book than the excitement the kids get out of it.

I'll take a temperature drop over a moon phase any day...

I agree,he didn't score as high as yours but very mature and we had lots of history,this was only the second time seen during daylight.First time my other daughter missed last year

Nice big mature deer. He looks a lot bigger on the ground than on the hoof!
Hope your other daughter isn't to ticked off :)

You pick a pose for the mount of Lucky yet?

NA, I just hack sawed the horns off and nailed them to the fence out back ..

No not yet. My Taidermy man is still backed up from last year so I have a bit of time.

Ha!

If you would have said you had already cut the antlers up for knife handles that would have even been more cringe worthy.

Like an idiot I really did do that with a really nice shed antler decades ago, biggest I had ever found up to that time....it did end up on a nice bowie.

Way to go Bill! Very nice buck! And a nice story to go along with it! The Deer we chase for multiple years at the special ones! Thanks for sharing!
