A giant has fallen

Thing looks like it came out of the big boreal forests of Alberta, my God what a deer! But it sounds like he was taken on a small piece of public, how awesome would that be!

Hybrid moose-whitetail! Wow....

 

[Ruttin]

I wonder what he has for history on him.

Probably had no idea it even existed, went on a walk and kicked him out of some cattails ha ha!
No but rumor has it that his Sheds went in the 230s.

In the words of Roger Raglin..." Jimmeny Christmas ".

Wow!! Glad he shared the pictures. I would have shown that rack to maybe 5 people. That monster has sons out there.

 

[SDMF]

That’s a truly amazing specimen!!

 

[5575]

I guess it was known as the Whitewood Ghost from Kingsbury County.

Using a Remington 740/742/7400, with a Tasco scope, he didn't need no stinking Kimber.

Kimbers don’t stink. They smell just like every other rifle. Steel, wood, plastic, and Kevlar. Then toss in a wisp of your favorite bore cleaner and lube.

I noticed that too. Pretty sure that's a 742 Woodsmaster. I used to have one in 30-06. In fact, that could be it. I traded it in about 20 years ago.

I still have mine in the gun cabinet. Tasco scope too. LOL

 

[SupressYourself]

That's one I wish I would have kept. Wasn't super accurate (by my current standards), but always worked and had an elegance to it.

 

[Shockwave]

That's true trophy. I'm glad I only shoot dinks. Taxidermy is expensive.

Definitely a buck any of us would love to have harvested. Many years ago I was at a Hunter Ed. seminar and there was a speaker talking about big whitetails. He made a statement that a buck shot during or after the rut and weighing more than 200 lb. dressed weight was most likely not a breeding buck If that's the case then bucks like this likely don't have many descendants. They just lay low and eat. Would be interesting to know if his theory was accurate.

This speaker was the typical EXPERT. Expert meaning "someone from a long distance away." The longer the distance, the more of an expert.But still an interesting theory.

That buck is truely a bruiser, and the Vikes jacket adds to the picture. WOW!
