Killed a big mountain buck

Well our muzzleloader season opened Saturday but I was only able to go for about an hour because my boys had football games, then Saturday afternoon my wife had scheduled us family pics so opening day was shot for me. So Sunday morning I went for a couple hours before church and saw a small 8. Then Sunday afternoon my 8yr old son ask if he could go. So me and him got out there around 4 and it was 70° definitely not prime condition. But as soon as we got there a decent buck was chasing a doe around, then around 5 another 8pt came cruising by behind us, then we turned back around and this buck was standing 150 yds away. He looked like a Hereford bull standing in the field. I knew it was the one I was after before I even saw his antlers. Fortunately I made a great shot and he didn't make it far. I found this bucks sheds in March and had several pics throughout the summer and early fall. I went home and came back with my dad and other son too. Definitely a hunt I'll never forget. He scored 162" and weighed over 250# which is about unheard of for east tennessee

Congrats! Beautiful buck!

Real nice, something to remember!!

Awesome buck, congratulations!

Wow, he is a real whopper!

I had a lot of history with him but never could lay my eyes on him til Sunday. Here's his sheds from last season which scored 150" so he put about 12" on this year. And pretty much all pics I ever got was night time. Nothing like the rut to get these nocturnal bucks moving during shooting light

that's a great buck WTG

Nice .

nice long beams on him.
Good job.

You got any big ones to chase this season bucksnbears?

Slim pickns this year.
Quite a few nice up n coming 3 year olds.

Maybe one will show up out of the blue. The year I killed my biggest to date (193") we didn't have any big deer on camera until the night of Nov 27th and I killed him on the 28th. Good luck and hopefully one will show up

You get it done, RM. Beautiful buck.

Congrats°°

Awesome Buck!

That's a darn nice buck!
Now about the wifey scheduling family pics on opening day.......I guess you're a better man than I am because I'm pretty sure the Christmas cards would be making people talk this year when I wasn't in the pic.
Congrats on that Buck!

A lotta deer there, WTG

" Didnt go 20 " Thats great !

Yea I definitely wasn't happy with her scheduling the family pics on opening day, but she was only days away from giving birth to my 4th child so I wasn't trying to get on her bad side. Lol. I killed this buck on the 8th and my son was born on the 10th. Hard to beat that 3 day stretch
