Shot a monster this weekend

Good friend invited me to go deer hunting at his ranch in Hood County. Sitting in the stand Sunday morning watching a glorious sunrise & this monster walks out. This isn't the deer I was looking for but when my buddy said, "You should shoot that deer" it didn't take me long to realize that was the biggest deer I have ever seen. Pulled the trigger & it dropped on the spot. I put the tape on him & measured 200 7/8" but realized on way home I forgot to measure inside spread. My guess is he'll go 217 or 218. Huge body. I am blessed. My friend also shot a deer & mine scored bigger than his. The last pic is both deer in the truck (mine is in the foreground).

Congratulations! (Note to self, get better friends!)

WOW!!!! Congrats to you both!

Wow, two giants.

You think you have good friends .... then you see a post like this.

awesome deer! you have a good friend!

Can you post more pics of your friends deer?

Is your friend taking applications for new friends?

Looks like a well managed ranch... Congratulations to both of you!

I want to be friends

So, tell us, HF?

Does he need more friends?

With friends like that, you better make sure to keep his beverage of choice stocked up.

Doesn't matter where it was taken, that there is a heckuva buck. Your "friend" did you well and created something good for you. Now keep that momentum going and make sure you repay your friend by doing something nice for someone else.

I find myself envious here.

Both are bucks of a lifetime

Congrats to you and you're once in a lifetime friend

Impressive. Both the buck and generosity of your friend.

Congrats! Monster for sure

Those are Great deer. Both of you did very well.
Congratulations

Deer management program appears to be working very well, Congrats!

Oh yeah! 'grats!

Excellent.

Might I ask what model and caliber you used to take him? TIA

A great deer. How many acres under fence?

Hats off to you and a good friend.

Both are nice uns...Congratulations

thats a weird hole in his ear your tags in. huge deer

Both of those are studs. Congrats

What is that?

Can we see a pic of the brow tines on the deer in the back?

It's where the ear tag was.

I was always told it's a pre-drilled tag hole. Almost all the luxury models have them.

Those are a couple really nice deer. Congrats on the trophy.

I get it, put camo on, remove ear tag, take pic.......

I wish I had a friend like that

awesome Bucks

Yep a ear tag and a tattoo in a ear also. I would suppose he was for genetic improve of the herd.

Looks like a fun shoot. Congrats!

Congratulations. Two great bucks there. I NEED NEW FRIENDS

I ain’t living right and definitely not hanging out with the right people. Congrats on to monarchs of the pasture!

DERN!

Congrats to both of you!

Goodness gracious, what a deer. Congrats

Wow congrats

Nice!

LOL, with all the deer farmers these days its getting rediculous on facebook. Not my thing, low fence free range for me even if they are way smaller.

I see some things haven’t changed around here

OP, sounds like you have a great friend...congratulations on a heckuva buck!
