Thanks, I think we will. I wish I had a scale to know how much he weighed, my guess is 230+. I have dragged 200 lb deer before and this guy we could hardly move he was so big.@stownsend you'll be eating like a king for awhile now!

Shot this nice South Dakota Whitetail last Monday, Nov 12. Was super cold that morning and this joker was hanging out in a little grove of trees with about 6 doe. He made it a nice and easy 65 yard shot with my 7mm-08.
He is my biggest deer to date, both in rack and body size. His neck is about as big as my waist!
I took this 7x7 on the third with my bow. Called him out of the forrest with rattling and a Tru talker. I have known about him for 5 years and he was nocturnal till this year. He was aged at 8.5 and smooth mouthed. On the demise for sure.

He was aged at 8.5 and smooth mouthed. 192 inches typical. On the demise for sure. He probably lost 20 inches guessing from past pics of even last year. (see below) I've planted food plots and watched him (on the trail cam) for all this time and saw him just a hand full of times. I'm glad I finally got him, but it did bring a tear to me thinking the pursuit was all over and the old boy was done.

We have trailcam pics of a true monster buck. He is a regular on our property. I was watching him when this 8pt entered the area. He kept coming until he was 20yds and closing.
Bird in the hand? Yep,
