I have been watching this deer for years and took him out last week. At least 8 1/2. Scored 147, he was a 160+ at one time.

The epitomy of a post-mature buck. He might have ridden on the Ark! Great buck, OP! Congratulations!

We really only saw him on camera, he was almost always Nocturnal. He slipped up in his old age I guess this year. He was spotted a couple times over the past couple of years but not by folks that were allowed to shoot him.

Good job on harvesting that old buck. I like that he had a long life passing on his genes and was harvested rather than suffering, weakening, and wasting away.

Now that is a trophy deer right there! I would shoulder mount him and put a few framed trail cam pics from his past, on the wall next to him.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
