One of my All Time Favorite Deer.....Travis I'm not even gonna comment on your Deer
Kidding Sir..How Cool

173 4/8" Net. Public land on the Tennessee side of Fort Campbell. 1.5" sticker at the left base hurt.

Think you kinda missed the Jest of my point Sir, 90% of the average Joes couldn't get within the Score of a Book Deer at just a glance..and a few could, wasnt directed at the ones that can and are capable amigo

Seen a few on the hoof, held a couple in my hands, killed not a damn one.

Thought that number was 160"?

On the old ranch think it's 4 that netted all time and 2 or three that netted awards. Not bad for the 12 years that I had it. 3 of those I passed up previous years. With two that broke 200 gross

In panhandle we have one makes all time but haven't gotten very close in a long time though.

Yes which means a 165 makes book too

Great buck and on public no less Makes it even more impressive of an accomplishment to me.

I have a pic of that monster 8 taken in Kansas off public somewhere. Will post it later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger A.B.

I just take pictures and feed

Welcome to my world

I've even euro'd them

With two shot out of my stand a day or two before I got there.

Thank you, sir. Definitely a strike of lightning.

My buddy sent me a pic of a monster Kansas roadkill last year and I'm sure it made the rounds. Would almost certainly make book.

And then some if its that mAinframe 12 or 14. Deer had well over 40" just mass

Was that your Deer KRY, Congrats Man...seen some Toads come out of the "Land between the Lakes" in Tenn

I think a lot people would be surprised at the numbers killed in Texas that never are mentioned in public. I know of 16 NT or Typical LF from last year that netted book with another that missed it by 1/8"(not sure if that one was after or before drying period) that were listed as killed with scores.

Bet 2-1 or 3-1 easy taken vs entered. Lots of studs that people are tight lipped about.

I know of 2 off of one ranch that netted book that will probably be entered not in that total.

I don't blame anyone for not entering them. None of ours where entered and three of them where officially measured and we thought better of it. Poaching was already bad enough

Very impressive deer. Congrats

I've never even gotten close. But, I did see several during my time hunting the King that would have made it. Heart stoppers.

Killed one and have seen a few more, just couldn't get it done. Got several years of hunting left though, Lord willing.

Not sure if we're talking about the same buck. This one looks to be a mainframe 10.





It's mine, Scooter. Very blessed to say the least. This buck was taken about 20 miles east of LBL just off a drop zone on Fort Campbell. But I watch LBL almost every year for the studs that come out of there. And I've never seen a place like Fort Campbell either. That whole area is plumb eat up with stud bucks.





Thanks, gents. This guy grossed 178 6/8 but only dressed 165 lbs.

Got one back in 1991. Free range in Mexico. Netted just a little over 196 non typical

I know this isn't a monster, but it was to me for my first bow kill a few years ago out of East Texas. Any ideas on score? His brows are 6" for reference.
