I've got this buck on camera the last 3 seasons in a row. He definitely an old buck and I think he was on his way down hill. Last year he was a nice 8 probably in the 130" range and the year before he was just a tad bigger. Went to the lease to pull some cards and about 3:00 the rain had slowed to a drizzle. Decided against bow hunting as I didn't want my bow getting wet the whole hunt. So I took my rifle and sat on a sage field with a green field about 260 yards away. This old boy showed up right at 5:00, he actually had another buck with him, he was a good solid 8 just a year or so too young. The big boy ran the smaller buck off and I let him have it. I've got tons of trail cams of this dude and as soon as he stepped out I knew what deer it was. He was right at 265 yards away when I shot and he dropped in his tracks! He weighed 214 and from what I could feel he appears to be between 6.5-7.5 years old!! He was an old warrior who lived a good life, almost sad to see him go after all these years of chasing him!

Yaper, that's a fine buck! Congrats on winning the war with him!

Good Lawd that's a tall rack!

Dang...That's a Big Deer....Congrats....

Man watch out for that panther behind you in the second pic!!!

It was actually a squatch, he'd followed me out of the swamp. I guess he was wanting the back straps!! It's brake lights from a car passing by. Took the 1st pic where he fell and the others at my house. Sucks hunting alone, when you kill you don't have anyone to help load it or take pics!!

Congrats!!

That's a biggun! Congrats on the chase and the finish!

Nice buck man. Congrats!

Congrats on a fine deer!

Congrats

Nice buck and congrats

Proud for you, and yes, dragging a deer out by yourself sucks. It is even worse when you have to put good uns in the back of the truck. There just isn't a good way to do that.

Good buck way to get the job done.

Great buck! Congrats

Congrats on a great buck.

Love a buck with some history. Congratulations!

Congrats
