No joke, been a while since I spilt blood. I can give a better story later but I’ve been after this buck since I first saw him last feb. I had one other encounter in which I never really got the shot I wanted and the stats didn’t align. He got pretty regular on feed last week so I headed down Tuesday. Got in stand early as he has been coming in early most days. He came in before actual feed time. Wind was horrible blowing right at feeder but tre ozonics and Krivoman combination kept everything around just long enough. He was scent checking the wind when I released on a slightly qtr to shot. I wasn’t gonna let him get away again.
I’ll throw a tape on him soon as I get settled.
He was prob 7.5 and dropped a ton of weight the last couple months.
Having problems getting Tapatalk to load right now. One of my lease mates may step up with some pics I sent earlier.
Friday I was able to arrow an older mgmt deer that I’d spotted a few weeks back. He was a fat one for sure. Many thanks to LSmith for helping me getting him back to camp.
I would guess mature. I killed a similar buck last year that went 135. I think that one is bigger and will get to 140+.
In summary, I'd whack him with extreme prejudice.
I saw him last Friday and shot right under him. Lease partner got him over the weekend. Rough (very) scored at 142. More mass than what the pictures show, beer can bases, can't get your fingers around them.
