 Neat story!

I agree I think 170 is a bit of a stretch. Not much of a hunt walking back to the truck

Congrats for sure. Who says that you have to kill a buck sitting in a blind!  ever heard of still hunting? I still hunt my way to and from my setups because you will never know what you see. Great job to the OP on a serious buck!

Great buck, thanks for sharing. Good time to have the rifle instead of the bow with you.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I agree I think 170 is a bit of a stretch. Not much of a hunt walking back to the truck I corn the road all way into camp and to skinning she'd so I can hunt when eating lunch. OP that's a serious deer congrats!!!

What a deer. Congratulations on a great deer. Your patience finally paid off. Especially nice since it was on your own place.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

What a beast. Way to stick with it and put in the work. Gives some perspective when we know we have deer but see nothing days at a time.

Great buck, congrats! and to get it off your own place is just one better.
Looks like he has some good beams mass and tines I could see him making the score.
