Title: My bro's big buck's in print! (new pics on pg4)
Post by: Boone the Hunter on June 07, 2011, 08:39:00 PM

I have to do a little bragg'n for my big brother. The big buck he shot last season marked the end of a 3 year chase for the ol' brute involving my brothers and I. It's full of pictures, encounters and even a 25 yard stand off with myself 2 years ago. Pretty cool to see him in the July issue of  North American Whitetail. Fitting end for the big guy to go down at the hand of an experienced woodsman holding a bear recurve. Way to go brother!

Is your brother a Navy SEAL? That looks like a buck most marines would run from and wet themselves over  :bigsmyl:    :deadhorse:

Nevermind.  I see in the caption that it was 213 5/8.  WOW!     :thumbsup:

It also says that this is an Illinois buck.  That question was raised before.

Yes ma'am! I will retract (but not edit) my prior statement about my brothers in the marines.
But, that is a huge buck isn't it?

Post by: Owlmagnet on June 07, 2011, 10:05:00 PM

Not to worry, Killdeer, no offense taken.  At least, THIS retired jarhead almost certainly WOULD pee his pants if he saw THAT big, old buck heading his way....

My congratulations!!!

I just read the article yesterday.  It was a great story.  

I was curious what poundage was the bear bow he using?  The article didn't say.

Thanks.

He was using a new super kodiak It's 45@28 but he draws 32'' so 50 something pounds. The body was as impresive as the antlers on him, the taxidermist said he's using the biggest form he's ever used on a deer. We guess him to be around 7 years old but haven't had a pro check out his jaw yet to give us an age yet. Something special about a buck of any size that lives to be that mature.

I like that field photo a lot.  That is such a brute of a deer.  It helps that I have seen you brother walking around at Kzoo and knowing he is almost 7 feet tall!  I have always wondered if you guys need to splice arrows together to get them long enough!  I will have to pick that one up at the newsstand.
