Another giant low fence buck killed!

[quarterback]

Please dear Lord please let me be hunting when I'm 80 years old. I don't even have to be killing big deer, just please let me keep enjoying it when I'm as old as this gentleman.

Congratulations to Mr. Holden. That is an incredible buck to take with any weapon, much less a crossbow. This deer should be mounted somewhere where lots of folks can admire him. What a trophy.

Looks like Mr. Don Holden nailed another low fence giant! Saw this on DF&G Wildlife Supply "El Munstuo Del Monte Big Buck Contest Leaderboard." Thats 4 200" plus low-fence bucks for Mr. Holden in the past 5 years. He took him with a crossbow and is still hunting hard at 80 years old! Hope I'm still after them at that age! Double Down Deer Feed Facebook write up says they estimated this buck at 148" last year. The pictures online of this bucks bases are incredible. God Bless You Mr.H!

Not A Complete Hater But, Did he Not Eat D&D Last year or what?

You Posted so I Can Only ask when Something Doesn't Make Sence

Also I Talked with Don a Few Weeks Back... Nice Guy

Last year he jumped from a cull 7 scoring 90" to 148". This year he jumped to 200".

Awesome buck and a nice thread [emoji122]

There's a back button for a reason. Id kill to just ride around and look at those deer while being allowed to hunt some trashy 7 point scoring 105.

You guys need to get a grip and be happy for the man.

I do believe that this feed is good and quite possibly better than most, if not all other protein feeds, if it is fed unlimited and continuous. My personal thoughts are that if you can afford to feed that way, you will see the maximum potential growth in your deer antlers yearly. Take a feed so unresistable that deer gorge themselves on it, keep the feeders full and I suspect you will see antlers like you've never seen on your deer before. Otherwise, pound for pound, DD probably won't give you any better results than any other premier supplemental feed. What I compare in my mind is the return on investment, or inches per pound of feed, including time and fuel. I just can't see the economics of DD in my situation.

Obviously, DD is doing the Holdens good and Mr. Holden has taken back-to-back absolute monster deer. They come at a price that very few of us can afford or maybe "justify" but it works for them. Congrats to Mr. Holden! Fine animals and lots of dedication went into raising such specimens.

That's awesome

Yep, and as much as I hate the constant marketing of EVERYthing nowadays, I actually didn't even notice it on the first picture that was posted until I read some of the comments. I just assumed the half-clipped logo was a watermark that some account on facebook had added that the OP had gotten the picture off of. The second picture is quite clear, though.

Everyone seems to be wearing some kind of logo nowadays, so I really didn't even pay it any mind. Can't imagine that if it was my brand I'd take the picture much differently.

Actually, the thing that stood out to me was how happy he looks to have killed it.

I hear you because is all I saw at first was a great Buck and a big smile !!

Plain and simple that's a deer to be proud of. If I Was lucky enough to harvest it I'd be posting it on every forum. And if I owned the feed that the hunter used to produce it well I guess I'd be just as proud and want the world to know. These forums are a great place for hunters to share their stories, knowledge, successes , failures and sometimes do a little bragging. So I say congratulations to the hunter and the feed you both deserve to brag a little for your accomplishment a 200 inch deer is very special.

[Slickrick]

Great Buck. Glad to see the guy still hunting. I am sure the feed helps but age and genetics is the biggest factor, at least its low fence. Congrats to Mr Holden.

Holden gets lots of credit for the deer, and rightfully so. What many people don't know is the ranch is owned by the Nunley Brothers. Red Nunley owned that place, and many more, including the Junco Ranch. Red did not lease out his ranches for hunting. When he died, his grandsons inherited all of it. I was lucky enough to spend some time on some of these ranches when they first begin running commercial hunts or leasing them. Prior to that, governors, U S vice-presidents, congressmen, etc... were all that were allowed to hunt these places, and then only as a guest of Mr. Nunley. Holden has done a good job of managing it, but that place was awesome way before he got there!
