Now I'm "That guy"... East side bruiser whitetail

[countryboy]

The shoes are a little scuffed up but will polish out ok. Thanks for all the support and well wishes. Can't wait to score it out tomorrow. Any guesses?

[wt]

Yes' I do want to hear about that!!! What you described is an integral part of my dream home!  Nice job...  on the whole thing   What a toad!,average body or big to match? :

[countryboy]

Huge body! Way bigger than anything I've shot in the past.

great buck and very entertaining story...good job.

I finally got around to scoring this guy. I'm not usually very good at guessing whitetail scores. Anyone want to guess how he measured out? Gross score of course, nets are for fishing   

[buckhorn2]

What a buck my guess 168

[Ripper]

Not at all an experienced scorer, but I'll say 157+   

[Kowsrule30]

165...

[buckmaster_wa]

163"

Last one.

Looks like I beat this dead horse enough. It grossed 149 7/8. It wasn't very wide considering how heavy he was. I was guessing mid 150's but I honestly don't care. It's still a trophy to me!

Hey, Countryboy

You are right, that is quite a trophy.  I loved the story (with your wife watching, crawling through the driveway, moose just watching the world go by...).

My wife and I went to school at Eastern years and years ago.  We used to entertain ourselves by spotting dear at night time at the NWR (Turnbull???).  We saw scads of deer throughout the year. 

But we never, ever saw a moose.  This has been a couple of decades now--moose have come over from Montana/Idaho!  This is really great news.

Thank you for sharing.  I am sure that this will be a wonderful Christmas for you all.

This guy is the reason I haven't filled my tag in two years. I have hundreds of pictures but can't seem to close the deal during our short season. I'm bow hunting next year so hopefully he'll end up on the wall too.

i think I have pics of this buck from last year

Three pages and the internet police haven't busted him yet for not first putting on Hunter Orange over his suit???   

Jokes!  Sweet whitey.  Good luck on that muley as well.

He forgot to say - his suit is orange. He works for Waste Connections.

Or maybe he's one of those "trash collectors" along the highway.

Congrats on your great luck Countryboy!
