Here's the field picture of the original buck. Unfortunately it's just a phone picture. I covered up the guys face, but that's about the size of smile he had on his face!
It was taken out in the flat sea of reprod that is Matlock, west of Shelton. The story I heard was that the guy he was hunting with had just dropped a decent two point, and as they got their stuff together to go work on it and get packing, the first guy told the shooter of the big buck that he'd better take his rifle with him. Well, low and behold, as they're making their way out to it they see this buck on a dead run through the reprod. One offhand shot and it was down as well!
That's the story I heard from a local. That said, the picture and story were not from or confirmed by the lucky hunter!
