Yes sir but I still wonder if ill see one. And I'm pretty sure he was killed in Botetourt conty near Tinker Mountain. Its not far from me.
The button buck off spring of those 2 are probably bigger than most of the bucks harvested here Lmao I got buck fever looking at those pics. I think I'm gonna have to blow up th pic and shoot it!
Found a picture of one taken towards the beginning of October, in a residential area just outside of town......if copying stuff like this off the internet is not on the up-n-up for legality purposes, mods please delete this post.... Hunting Couple Shares B&C Moment Posted by DDH Staff by Michael Schoblaska, F+W Outdoors Intern Kyle Wiskirchen, 24, and his girlfriend, Lauren Schultz, were sitting together in a tree stand in central Wisconsin yesterday afternoon overlooking a food plot Kyle had prepared earlier in the year. They had only been sitting an hour and a half that afternoon before a 140-class 10-point presented Kyle with a 10-yard shot. As Kyle waited for the right opportunity to draw his bow back, something happened. The 10-pointer was unexpectedly alarmed, and before Kyle could get a shot off, the buck high-tailed it out of the food plot. Lauren was the first to notice the cause of the 10-pointer’s alarm, and Kyle soon saw it as well. A 190-class mainframe 10-pointer was still squared up in an aggressive posture, and was making its way toward the hunters. The buck made its way through the food plot and stopped at 37 yards offering a slight quartering-away angle, and Kyle’s arrow struck home. A textbook double-lung shot sent the buck running, but not far. After letting the buck sit a while, Kyle, Lauren, and Lauren’s mom returned to take up the blood trail. The trio was able to follow the trail down a steep hill, at the bottom of which Kyle saw the glint of an eyeball in his flashlight's beam. He hollered in excitement, and took off running toward the deer. Looking over some trail-camera photos from mid-September, Kyle realized he had captured this buck a few times on camera, but the pictures weren’t clear and didn’t show just how magnificent his buck was. With an 18-1/2-inch spread and 26-inch main beams, the buck rough-scored right at 195 P&Y inches. He believes it will net 190-1/8, after deductions. Having filled his buck tag, Kyle is now focused on helping Lauren bag her first buck with a bow. Photos by Jacob Edson, Copyright Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine, 2010.
You are correct, I got him confused! Botetourt, Franklin, Bedford and Roanoke Counties usually produce some giants every year. The bucks within the Roanoke City limits are enormous from the few pictures I have seen. Then throw in the monster bucks that grow in the Shenandoah Valley and down along the coast and you actually realize that there are some great bucks in Va. They are just few an far between in terms of numbers. But you're right, you wonder if you'll ever get to SEE one much less shoot one.
