I just had to give this its own page in order for one to appreciate the story and magnificence of this buck and thanks Steve
for shearing it with us.
The Story
He came out about 50 yards from me....what a deer! It was a long hunt! 14 days 9hrs a day in the stand!
But well worth it, patience is the key! I took 2nd place at the big buck contest! There were some big ones this year!
It scored 168 1/2..I have 13pts, there was one I wasn't sure but it's a point...so a 10pt with 3 non-typical
It came in at 177 1/8 minus the deductions (8 5/8)
