A friend from the Detroit area sent me these photos of a buck he saw while he was building a deck. My thoughts.....
1, a buck that big makes people do stupid things.
2, ain't no way a buck that old and that big is casually moving in daylight in a real world hunting situation. Can you pattern that buck and kill him? Sure, but don't expect me to be impressed.
Edited to add: upon receiving these photos I had ZERO desire to hop a plane, knock on doors, and find out if I could shoot this brute. I cannot even fathom the mindset of those who would do that.
