Buck taken in Menard Saturday morning. This is the buck that I mentioned previously and since it was posted on facebook, I feel that I can repost. Buck killed by Kurt Bryan with a crossbow on a low fence Menard County ranch, no aggressive feeding program. I think that this shows the good winter and spring that we had along with allowing the bucks to get a little age. Buck is quite a bit larger than it appears as I snapped this shot on my phone shortly after recovery. No set up shot and Kurt is a big boy, I am guessing he weighs over 250. I did not have a tape but guessing the buck scores 155+ for a main frame 8 point. Adios, gary

Kurt iis a big boy, I am guessing he weighs over 250 ( not a science yet, working on it... ) Example : back in the day, @ 5' 7" with 28" waist... 5× 20 = 100 + 7 + 28 = 135 . 5# off my weight of 140... @ 60 5' 7" with 31" wast. 5×30=150 + 7+31= 188#'s pretty close using tape method.. Yet scale tis way more accurate... & judging rack size without tape, A-B cup, somewere in that range. considering its LF

Maybe this will give you a better look at main beams which were over 24" and how he carried his mass really well. Hoping everyone has a safe and great season! Adios, Gary

I rough scored him at an even 150 on the 8 point frame before adding other extras. One 4th was an inch in length, other was not scoreable. He also had a boost on his brows one was 7 and the other 8 which you really can't see in the photos. I moved to Menard County in December of 1985 and when I saw this buck nearly about two months ago, I posted that I thought that I had seen the largest framed buck I had ever seen in Menard County not under HF. It is good to see that at age 67, my vision on a buck running at 125 yards is still pretty good. Now my hunters on this ranch are sure that they have seen a couple bigger...hope they have. Adios. Gary
