Awesome buck! Congrats and way to start us off. Great way to start a day seeing a notification and opening up to this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You get a chance to score it? Looks huge. Great mass, time length, 12pts. Just an all around beautiful buck.
No I didn’t last night. He’s hanging in the walk-in cooler and I’m going to take him to the taxidermist around 10 and I’ll measure him later this afternoon. I’m guessing mid 30s maybe, but I could be wrong it’s happened one other time lol Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Unreal!! You weren't even going to hunt... That is awesome - how did it all come together for you? Just came out feeding in the beans and worked your way? Wind must have been great? Makes me want to go out and hunt tonight. Ugh I'm going to stick to my game-plan though.
He’s all posted up guys official unofficial score is 142 3/8. I’m not a huge score guy and the only deer that I’ve scored have been for this contest. I’m still blown away. He is my personal best, I’ve shot good deer in Missouri and ohio and to have my PB right here at home in Michigan (where there’s no big bucks) makes it that much sweeter Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Congrats again and an awesome start. Hunting those states there’s definitely potential for some big ones. He’s a great buck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Rarely does a deer IMO make you question the score thinking it had to of scored better...yours my friend does. I had that deer pegged for sure at 150. Dude is just a stud and some deer just gave that imposing mature look to them...AWESOME BUCK
Again, awesome buck. Congrats! And thanks for getting him on the board. Great start for your season and the team.
I thought I scored him high the first time. I went through two additional times with the other score cards hidden. I was within 4/8 between all three times scoring. Even though it wasn’t much I took the lowest score and happily accepted it! Thanks tyni, says a lot coming from the giants you shoot lol Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I said literally those exact words to my wife’s brother today. While laughing when he said I shoot giants every year. But really, thanks again man. Im still all jacked up over it Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Those Indiana guys - don’t gas him up too much! Lol If it makes you feel any kinda way - I went back and read your pre-hunt post. I looked at the aerial photo again. I looked at your buck. Not once did I wonder - what did he score?! I wondered - man he didn’t call his shot but his instincts put him in the right place at the right time (or so it would seem). I wondered - what was the wind? Did he have this deer on camera? Had he killed a buck out of this stand before? That’s an impressive deer given any situation! Happy for you - soak it in!
We all need some good vibes from time to time tho! You don't need much building up - share some for the rest of us in Indiana!
Congrats! That's a stud for sure! Hopefully we can all follow suit and put some good points up! Sent from my SM-N975U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
