Thank you All! I am still on "cloud 9" a year later. Still waiting to have him officially scored but taxi came up with 185" and I had him at 187 but hoping the mass pushes him to 190+". I was indeed shaking like crazy when he finally stepped out after about 48 hours (5 sits) in a tree stand. I first saw him on camera a month earlier and hunted hard as soon as bow season started. Came out right at dark and with the tremendous shakes I made a terrible gut shot on him...no blood or hair on the ground but the arrow passed through with minimal blood on it. I finally found him about 300 yards in the direction he ran about 2 hours after dark. I use Chisholm Trail Taxidermy in Cool TX, outside Weatherford. Eugene there has done 5 bucks for me now and does fantastic work. I highly recommend him if you are in the area. Good luck this season All!
Just a great story and buck. Well done I’m officially jealous. What do you guess you’re heart rate was?
