Perfect all around.

When I first heard you were going to try for a deer I knew it had to be a something amazing kind of buck. Can’t say I know of any hunter who has had history with an animal of any species - with that many years into watching it grow into something so upper echelon. Big congrats & so we’ll deserved.

Good books have taken me many places I won’t be able to to experience in real life.

May I be the first to tag @Hunting Wife with the first nomination for a 2021 Talkie Award for this story?

Already bookmarked after the first installment my friend

What an incredible chess match. Great read, and fantastic buck. I can understand the melancholy after the achievement though. But you absolutely earned it. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats, and thanks for sharing the awesome story. It’s a prime example of what a buck can turn into when he gets some age on him.

 

[Elkoholic]

Exceptional! Thanks for sharing!

That is a super buck and just as good of a story. I remember pics of him you posted back when he was a clean 8.

Congrats on an amazing buck and so much history with him. He sure is a tank! Very cool to have so many years of his sheds also. Neat to see how he grew and some years added or switched points.

Awesome. I love the pic of his head with all his previous antlers.

Congrats - awesome buck.

What does his lower jaw look like?!?$!?$$? I’d put that thing over the fireplace.

 

[mtmiller]

It was worth the wait. What a history and story. Thanks for the ride.

 

[MTTW]

Congrats. You are going to miss him. Hopefully there will be another to match wits with. Bitter sweet, but sweet for sure.

Loved the read! A hard earned trophy and well deserved. Glad to see you caped him as he deserves a spot in the house. Congrats!

That is one of the coolest stories I've ever heard a huge congrats to you. That's one hell of an impressive harvest along with the history with him.

Hands down. Talkie winner, everyone else might as well save their adventures.

Cats and mice could learn from you and that buck. Thanks for sharing!
