True story. No need to make this buck any bigger than he is.
A week ago Thursday, about 9 days ago, I was driving to Montana. Left my Crossville farm at 4:15 a.m. wanting to beat Nashville early morning traffic. So to get to the meat of this deer, right now, if you live close to the Nashville Airport, go to GOOGLE Maps, (terrain setting so you can see in color) and type in Nashville International Airport. Okay, got it up? Good, look for McCrory Creek
I am tooling along in the very early morning light approaching the Donaldson Pike exit, going WEST BOUND on Interstate 40.
Sun isn't up, just getting light and ahead of me about 500 or 600 yards from the freeway exit I see some "reddish" looking animals that look like deer.
It was deer. Three deer. Two bucks that were nothing to sneeze at and one buck, feeding out in the bottom of the ditch that was simply a stunning, beautiful, magnificent mature whitetail that was at least a 12 point, probably more. What a darn stud of a buck! I have been blessed to see some massive whitetails in my short 67 year life and this buck was one I would simply SHOOT on sight. I sure hope one of you reading this is close enough, has contacts for the area can obtain legal permission to hunt there, can get some camera's in there, can get a son or daughter or grand son or grand daughter or somebody you know to have the opportunity and privilege to maybe get their hands on this great deer. I sure hope he doesn't get hammered on the freeway when rutting.
If you see him dead on the freeway let me know. If you get him killed let me know, better yet, send me a picture of him. Man, what a great deer.
Isn't this what TNDEER is all about? To help others out? I thought so. Best of luck hunting that bomber. He is a stud of a buck!! Imagine sitting in a tree having 737's over head every 10 minutes! Good luck to the lucky guy (or gal) who lays eyes on him or gets a pic of him on camera.
