Well i ju [Linked Image]

st got back from our hunting cabin in Ohio and man did we have a great hunt. With 4 kids under 12 and coaching sports its hard for me to get away for very long these days. But we left out Sunday morning and headed up to hunt for a couple days. We got up there around 1 and changed quick and headed out. I was clearing some limbs away to start up a tree with my climbing stand when a deer blew, i turned around just to see a giant running away. I got settled in and around 2:30 dad called me(he refuses to learn to text) to tell me a huge buck had a doe pinned down 100 yds away. Well 30 mins later he called back to tell me he had just shot the buck. Crazy first 2 hrs of a hunt. I climbed down to go help him track and after 300 yds of decent blood and the buck laying down twice we decided to back out til morning. The next morning we found him about another 150 yds away. He had hit him perfect but the broadhead hit a rib and turned thru the guts and came out into his back leg. Unfortunately the coyotes feasted on his hams. He was a old buck that we had history with. He scored 159" as a 8pt. I took a picture of the rack sitting on a 140" 10pt mount in the cabin just for comparison. Dads 65yr old and its his best buck to date

Yeah Clint its crazy how things have changed. I can remember him carrying a sleeping bag and leaving 3 hrs before daylight to get me and my brother set up when we were kids. Now im going up building tower stands and running cameras trying to get him on a big one. Been blessed to get to hunt evety season with him since i was 7yr old and now im 40. Hopefully we can hunt another 20 together. I definitely don't take a season with him forgranted

Bucksnbears its definitely the biggest 4x4 weve ever killed. He had 12" g2s, 10"g3s, 25" mainbeams and both bases were over 6". Took it to the taxidermist and its neck right behind the ears was 26" and eye to nose measurement was 9 3/8 and he said the biggest form he could get was 8 1/4. So he was definitely an old buck
