One of a kind
« on: December 21, 2021, 12:36:14 PM »
So lucky to have taken a buck of this caliber in a OTC public land hunt in our state.
Not going to say a whole lot until the story comes out, which it will. Thanks for understanding.
It is a true once in a lifetime buck, 5x7, 28.5" wide. Gross scored him at 193 2/8".
Just wanted to share with you all as he deserves it.

Well I'm impressed, I've maybe seen a deer of that caliber once. That had to be crazy nerve wracking to draw back on. My arrow would have flown into the next county. Thank you for sharing, hope we don't have to wait too long for the story.

Saw a Buck like this but many more kickers, estimated it was legally a 19 pointer. Fall of 2020. not open for the taking though, NO pic as it was too dark for any camera. Spotted off my deck in North Grant Co. near Coulee City..
