Buck of a Lifetime

On Tuesday evening Dec. 2nd at 4:35 PM, I could not believe my eyes were seeing what was walking through the pines on my Mississippi Hunting Lease!

I been hunting like most of you guys, a long time! I will never brag about killing any deer, deer hunting will humble you quick & hard.... Right Place at Right Time, I'm 44 and love to hunt deer... Not monster deer, just deer!

I know he is a buck of a lifetime or two, I want to share him in a positive way. And I truly wish that all my friends who hunt get to feel how I'm feeling right now. Although we hunt for more reasons than to kill trophies. I'm very humbled, blessed, & so grateful.....

- This deer needs more recognition than the hunter. He truly is a Rare & Magnificent Animal! 100% fare chase ~ not living in a high fence, just a Beautiful Deer.....

The mass is incredible. He has it all. What'd he score? Or is it not a concern for you?

I'm far from an expert but a deer of that caliber must have a slot somewhere in the Miss. record books? Congrats! Can't imagine what that looked like coming through the woods!!

That is a bruiser! One hell of a buck. Your must be in God's good graces because I don't think bad people get opportunities like that. You must have had some serious 'karma credit' built up. I'm pretty sure I would have made scent lok ruining puddin upon seeing that walking near me. Way to go!

DAX, Brent Young is my brother in law. He had been forwarding me the trail cam photos you were sending him of this monster. I was very excited for you when I heard you had gotten a shot at him and then later when you recovered the magnificent buck! You and that deer are pretty famous, as I've seen multiple pictures from multiple sources being passed around. Again, congratulations on such a truly once in a lifetime buck! Oh, are there any openings at your club next year, LOL!
