Default My biggest buck on film ever!!!!

I should start by saying that I might believe in destiny now!! Last month I decided to take a different route home from work due to the traffic jamming the hi way.
About half way home I decided to take the back roads and look for a few yotes,and along the way I drove by this patch of bush about 250 yards long and 60 yards wide and completely surrounded by alfalfa. And then it happened!! this very intense feeling that I was looking at the best deer habitat in the world..lol I know this sounds retarded but regardless I drove the two miles to the farm house and asked the owner for permission to bow hunt it this fall and after a 30 min chit chat ....with a very intelligent and down to earth farmer he looks at me and says "sure you can go ahead and hunt my farm this year and thank you very much for asking" so we swapped info and preceded to scope out my newly acquired "dream bush".

I start walking the perimeter looking for deer sign and good beat down trails for a spot to set up a trail cam and soon found a very well used trail that branched off into four other good trails and all lead to the open alfalfa field so I found a good tree on the field edge, set it up for 30 sec videos, and snuck out.

1 week later I went back ,pulled the sd card and flew my ass back home and kicked open the lap top to see what I could see.

As the first image load and I couldn't believe it there stood the largest buck I have ever got film of, a 7x6 main frame in perfect shooting light too boot!!! and to top it all off!! he was not alone!! right there with him was a very sweet 4 pointer! with good mass and good tine length.

Now with a ground blind all set up Im all ready and set to go for sep 1st! A wiser man once told me you don't need to be a great hunter you just need a great place to hunt!....and destiny made sure of that!!

That looks like a great buck. Hopefully next Sunday we see pictures of you with your hands on his antlers.

OMG me too!! But now you guys are making me all nervous!! It's funny how emotional you get after putting so much time and effort into getting one deer this must the reason some deer hunters cry like a baby and thank god and there family! When the animal is on the ground. If you see me do that rubbish on the video please delete it..... Lol

What's a high scorer for you??? From what I see I'd say that deer will go 160 or better and if that sticker is scorable it will be non typical and go even higher but regardless I want him on the wall....lol

Too hard to put a good estimate is with those pics for score. Personally I don't hang them on my wall unless they are at least 170". I don't think this one has it but like I said hard to tell. Even if it was a 160" deer I would put him on my wall as I like the character which for me says he is worth killing.
By the looks of him with these pics he has real bad brow tines. What makes him look cool is the width adn junk he has.
