Large deer

[sw]

I’m retired , but visited my office yesterday to wish my former employees Happy Thanksgiving. My hygienist and husband are avid deer hunters. Her husband and a friend were hunting on public land (Dave Donaldson - Black River) which extends for 20 miles (20,000 acres of river bottom) . This deer was recently bow killed there about 40 miles from where I live. I have a 177 and 161 “ bow kill but nothing like this. This was killed by an oral surgeon’s son who was helped in dragging the deer out by my hygienist’s husband who was hunting near-by. Score - 193.

I can’t help but wonder about this, it just seems unreal. However, an orthodontist friend of mine says he’s seen this too and believes it’s credible. I’ve never seen such a deer.

So wide, probably had to go sideways through the woods to get through the trees.

Widest whitetail I have ever seen.

That's a nice buck.

That is an amazing buck! I would love to see something like that while hunting.

Obviously taken too soon. Should have let it grow another year so it could turn into something nice.


Sorry, somebody had to say it.

That hunter is young. Eventually, he’ll learn to let the little ones walk and see what’s following them at a distance.

The odds of seeing a deer like that more than once in gun range is hugh

Nice mature deer. Great buck don't think anybody would let that one walk .
