Biggest Buck

[fairchaser]

I'm 66 and shot the Alberta buck in 2000 at 43. I knew he'd be my biggest ever and scored 183. The first is the best TN buck I shot at 53. I hoped I'd get a bigger one before my hunting career ended. He scored 132 and I'd like to get one over 140 before I die, Lord willing!

Left one was biggest, killed in 2020. Topped him the next year with the right one. I'm 42 now.

Picture doesn't do it justice. You got anymore of him you'd mind sharing?

This will sound crazy
He isn't really impressive
By that I mean
Some deer are wide
Some are tall
Some have mass

This deer had everything to make a high score
So nothing stands out

You're growing up on us. You used to mount deer before they were field dressed. Now you're mounting them after they are field dressed

 

[Specializedjon]

I still mount them before they're field dressed, the rut affects me. Usually cool off with a cold Bud Light

Killed my first a button buck at 10. Killed the next 50 deer by 25. Pretty much shot every deer that was legal and loved every second of it. Only two of those were 8 points. Didn't kill a 10 point until I was 45. I never got a buck mounted until 5 years ago. I have a dozen or so 2/12 and older euro mounts. Really good 10 with a crossbow. Got a couple more mounted since. Best year ever this year and I am turning 55 this month. Got a 9,12, and 13. I hunt a lot different nowadays and the quality of deer has really improved during those 45 years.
