New Record Buck just downed!

[daddysprad]

Looks very edible.  I'm thinking backstraps, marinated in lots of butter and garlic, some toasted sweet onions and mushrooms,  with a big baked spud for desert.

Wow!!! My buck just pales in comparison to that stud.  Makes sense that Daniel was the guide on that monster. 

[jackmaster]

The ticks on that deers head are bigger than the antlers should be Damn fine eatn, all 5 packs of meat ya get off him..lol..

[turkeyfeather]

Can't eat antlers. I'd rather have tasty, tender back straps.

[ICEMAN]

Nice 2 point.

[fishnfur]

Did you have to quarter him out to get him out of the woods?  Makes my back hurt just thinking about it. 

[one shot kill]

Would have loved to find the sheds off him.

Was that a yearling with good genetics or 1 1/2 year old with bad?

[Boss .300 winmag]

You done cleaned out my honey hole, I was saving him for next years hunt, now what am I going to do! 

Congrats to the hunter for some good eats right there!  

[Dhoey07]

He should be tasty  stuff him and cook him right next to the turkey!!

[bearpaw]

Was that a yearling with good genetics or 1 1/2 year old with bad?

He wasn't a fawn, he was 1 1/2, that's why I was glad to get him out of the gene pool. 

[LeviD1]

Yeah that would have been a safe looking 4 1/2 year old

[HunterStrait]

You had me there! 

[Tom Tamer]

I took one similar once during late buck, it was revenge exacted on him for my missing of a Monster BT the night before. He still ate good, just didn't last very long. I enjoy the taste of venison too much to not try and fill my tag every year if lucky.

This is not to be taken lightly, it was an arduous task for the guide to determine if this was a trophy we dare pull the trigger on! 

When I was a much younger man(14-16) my buddy and I started what we called the "Baush & Laumb Club"
Anyone can spot a good 4 point at a couple hundred yards. To get in this club you needed some good glass to make sure the trophys had antlers, the smaller they were the higher they ranked.

Below is a pic of our record holder. On the last day of the season it took over an hour to be sure it had an antler that was 1". Turned out that the buck had been shot in the very low leg(was broken badly) so I felt better about putting this one out of it's misery.
