I have been truly blessed

I have been truly blessed to shoot another buck of a lifetime.

Congratulations. Those are some serious drop tines.

Damn, if this is out of line, don't answer. How much did that big sob cost, 20,000?

That’s a buck of multiple lifetimes

Lol, not out of line.
I know exactly what you are talking about.
I know I could not afford a buck like this with my salary and budget.
I was very fortunate enough to win this hunt in a raffle.
The raffle ticket was $150.00.
So I guess that big sob cost me $150.00.

Of course I spent more on fuel, food, motel , taxidermy and so on.

What a stud! Where did you take him?

Thank you.
Near Madisonville.

Wow what an incredible buck Buddy that has everything a hunter could hope for in a buck, tall thick tines, big mass from the base to the tips, double drops, kickers what a great buck with lots of character, you are truly a blessed man Congratulations

Have you scored him yet?

It will be hard for me to ever beat this buck.

The hunt was pretty fun.
We were riding in a utv looking for deer.
We rode through a couple of pastures and seen some game, but not any big ones.We headed to another pasture and the outfitter said “there’s some deer, let’s get out.”
We hopped out and I grabbed my primos trigger stick tripod and rifle.
We snuck behind a big tree and started glassing. He said do you see them behind the brush and trees?
Then in an excited voice he said oh yeah, there he is, do you see him?
I was looking through my binoculars and glassing some does, then I seen a good buck with mass and stickers.
I thought that was him. My outfitter must have seen where I was glassing and said, no that’s not him,look farther to your right. I started panning to the right with my binoculars. When I seen my buck through the binoculars, they about jumped out of my hand! He looked about 3 times as big as the other good buck I had been glassing. He said, do you see him? I said oh yeah. He said, that’s the one we want. See if you can get your shooting sticks set up on him. I got ready, but there was a doe in front of him. The doe cleared, but I only had a frontal shot, he was looking right at us and there was brush in the way.We waited a bit and the doe started moving off to the right. My outfitter said get ready, he is gonna follow that doe. Sure enough he started heading out to his right. He came to a small clearing through the trees and brush and stopped and look back at us. I tried to calm myself, and put the cross hairs on him and slowly squeezed the trigger. At the shot he jumped and ran to the right. The outfitter said You got him, good hit complete pass through. We gave him a while.Then we went to look. I hit him behind the shoulder , through the lungs and he only ran about 30-40 yards from where I shot him and he was down.
I still can’t believe it happened!

Congrats mbavo! Another great buck. Did you get any pictures of game while you were out? You are a great photographer.

Thank you.
No, I did not take any pics. I guess I was too pre occupied looking for that buck.
Thanks for the kind words.

I came up with 219 1/4” , but I am no official scorer by any means.

Congrats
