I was bow hunting last Sunday afternoon and the first deer I saw all night was this guy. It was the first time I hunted that property this year, though I have hunted it for 20 years. I hung my Lone Wolf stand along a trail down by a creek. I saw him coming at me from upwind, only being able to see the left side of his rack due to brush. As he came closer, I noticed his right side was different. Then, I spied the hook tine coming off the right base and decided right then I would fill a tag with him. As he went behind a tree, I drew my bow. He stopped to freshen a scrape, then kept coming down the trail. At about 12 yards, I put the pin on his ribs and hit the release as he walked through an open window. I watched him run out of sight then heard him crash. I was looking for "something different" this year and he filled the ticket.

Nice deer. Looks like a set of monstrous brow times with a rack attached. I'd be happy with that one too.

I love weird big whitetails. Everyone is different. I bet he "brow beat" a few deer with that set of massive brows.
Nice deer

That would have made a great full head mount. Great deer.
