the morning started off bad. h iked up into one of my spots (bout a 2 mile hike) only to discover i had made a bad choice. the wind was howling up there and i know from experience with these particular deer that they will be laying down in that crap. so i made the decision to turn right around and hike out. so I'm thinking crap i wasted a morning that i should have been at my other spots.
i get back to the truck and head across the river. wind wind wind. it wasn't looking good. i busted a doe in some heavy reprode and that was about it. to the next spot.
heading up to my next spot i get back into the wind, i figure crap this is pointless ill just turn around up here and head out. but before i did something made me check one of my usual old clear cuts i like to glass. as I'm glassing the edge just about to walk away i see a deer out of the corner of the binos. a buck. over 200 yards and i cant tell how big other than he's legal. get to a rest,settle down, adjust for wind, boom.
saw him jump like he was hit through the scope. did cartwheels over to where he was standing only to find no blood :yike: i cant have missed i had him dead on. look around no deer. well it was a lot of wind i think to myself, but i just cant have missed. look some more, no deer. now I'm worried. i pick up his trail again (saw where he jumped) go the other way and there he is. i almost did a back flip when i saw how big he was. I'm pretty sure everybody in the wood heard me yelling. i must have looked pretty silly there all by myself but i dint care i was pumped. then the drag started.
i drug him with out gutting him first because i had to drag him through some nasty stuff and I'm picky about my meat, it almost killed me. to a hour and 15 min to drag him 150 yards. (the adrenaline wore off about half way through) when i finally got him field dressed and in the truck i was still so jacked up that once i got in the truck i had to kick the door open to puke. i was pretty stoked about this deer not only because of how big he is but i worked hard for this sucker, really hard.
went back and ranged the shot. 268 yards with about a 15 to 20 mph crosswind. took out both his lungs and the top of his heart with a 200 gr accubond out of the 300 winny. I'm still floating, man what a season.

Now that is a buck to be proud of. You weren't sh$%en. Ps I should have warned everyone to use a full sheet of plywood in the garage because I made the same mistake during archery season.
somehow my tarp walked off. i like blood on the floor any way it keeps the girls out of the garage

As for the weight, if you would have had your tinfoil hat on, you would not have noticed because the powers that be would not have been able to affect your thinking!!!!!!!!!!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

well charlie's got him now. unofficial score, gross at 130 7/8. i dont care about net score or even gross score. i love that buck, not only because he's a hog but also because when i was down at Charlie's it made long tatlaw bow to me like obuma does to kings and emperors. i went a head and knighted him, was the least i could do :kneel:
hmmm can a queen be knighted :dunno:

Tremendous buck, is that the one you patterned before the season?
i believe this is one Ive been looking for the last two years. i could always find him in velvet but come fall he would disappear. i dont have any real good pics to prove it but its the same area and its the biggest buck ive seen in Hancock so i will just have to go looking this summer, heck maybe i'll find another toad to chase around for a couple years :)
