    Yup. I did not find his sheds. Some random guy did on public just to our north and posted to a Facebook group I’m a part of.

    I really hope this weird buck made it so I can go after him for round 3. I've never seen him.

    Last year he was already formed up big time by Mid June which is so weird. Part of his rack was missing. If he had the mass of 2024 along with the points of 2023 he could be special. I have a cam out there running til July to see if I can pick him up.

    Trash buck. 2023 then 2024.

    They are around. And im the same, would love to shoot a monster doe.

    My brother shot one that i believe would be close to 200 lbs about 30 years ago. We didn't have anything to weight it back then. But i remember that big girl hanging in the garage. Her nose touched the ceiling and back legs touched the ground. No buck we shot ever done that.

    Those big old does are a real pain in the rear. Very savvy.

    What I find funny is that many hunters think their buck is 200+ lbs dressed but often are closer to 170-180 when put on a scale. So a doe anywhere near that size would be awfully impressive.
