Guys & Gals,

I've been after this deer for a few weeks. I posted a couple weeks ago that he was coming to one of our new feeding stations.
This past Saturday in the evening hunt, he showed up with literally ONE MINUTE of legal shooting light left.

I had my 8 year old son in the blind with me, and I experienced the worst bout of buck fever I've ever had. I've killed many great bucks, including a 150" 12 pointer, but I've never been more excited about a deer.

Truly didn't think he would show himself, and feel truly blessed to have been able to harvest such a unique animal.





I have to wear sunglasses into the woods, because the deer would recognize me, an just surrender with their hooves up.

That is one awesome freaky buck! I would rather harvest one like that than a B/C buck.

At some point he could have been a main frame 8, I think. Got any pics of the back of his rack. Have y'all seen him in years past? No matter, that's a once in a lifetime trophy! Congrats.

cheers Wow, what a sweet looking animal. Going to take some time with a tape measure and an experienced scorer to figure out that one! Glad all I have to do is say CONGRATS!

Awesome deer.

Don't think he will be able to scored by the C&B system with that one beam/base.

Score won't matter on that buck anyway. I would like to see a pic of the skull after he is caped out to see what happened or if you can tell what happened to him to cause that growth. Very unique trophy. Congrats! cheers

I'm sure he'll probably shoulder mount it, but I think a euro would do him justice, would really show off the base.

I agree and would have the euro on a elevated pedestal type base. He will still make a great looking shoulder mount that I would also put on a swivel type pedestal base so you can turn the mount from time to time. The one I saw in the early 90's was very similar to this one. I remember the shed(s) that they had from the year before but do not remember the mount of the buck at all.

I've gone back and forth on what to do. I've caped him out and waiting to get him to the Taxi.

ALL my other mounts are Euros, but I thought a shoulder (sneak pose) would show it off.

Think the shoulder is overkill?


I have to wear sunglasses into the woods, because the deer would recognize me, an just surrender with their hooves up.

That is why they need an alternative to B&C like measuring the cubic inches of mass using a water displacement system and then add tine length.

stxranchman, where would I look on the skull to identify an issue?

You should do whatever you want. It is certainly not overkill. I just think a euro would show off his base(s). Congrats again.
