    Congrats to mike on a world class animal! And to Todd for being a true team player and friend. Sounds like all the hard work of shed hunting, scouting and being persistant payed off. Congrats to the both of you!

    The buck was actually shot on Mike's property, not Todd's. Although Todd did put down his 2nd buck of the year on his place yesterday morning which is a few miles away. Photos of that deer are forthcoming. It's nice, but nowhere near 220! Then again, not many deer are....

    That is amazing, like winning the lottery.

    Was this hunt filmed for TV, just out of curiousity?

    Todd and I film our hunts for the Bowhunting.com online show - but Mike (the shooter) doesn't film. He did have a small POV camera mounted on his bow and got some of it on film, but not much. We'll have that video along with trail cam photos and video from previous years in the full story, which will be coming soon. I'll be sure to post a link to it once it's up.
