Congrats on a STUD! I don't think it's the biggest to come out of Bankhead, but I could be wrong.

Willie Martin "The Bankhead Forest Monster" taken Nov.1973. Net typical 180 7/8 (gross 203) net non-typical 207 (gross 212 4/8). For years was # 3 typ, overall and biggest public land buck, may still be. Mainframe 6x5, the missing matching tine keeps it from netting close to 200 typ. It has 4 tines over 12" and both beams are 27" plus.

Willie , before his death lived on "Skyline Mountain". I've seen this buck several times. Most recently last year my son and I went to see it. Even though I had seen it a couple of times before, it was still jaw dropping. My description doesn't do justice nor does pictures.

Not trying to derail, but who does Bolton write for? Last I heard Bham News/al.com let him go and he was running a bbq restaurant or something.

I know of at least three bigger than this one that have all come from Bankhead. One of which 2dogs already covered. There has been a mid 230's killed with a bow and a 211 killed with a rifle. Not to mention a truck load of 160-180 deer. All public land from the same place.

Matt, just to clarify, are you referring to scores? A 230" bow kill?
