Wow, that buck has a big neck! That is a stud of a buck! Congrats to your bro and thanks for sharing.

Did he have any history with this deer?

No history, never saw it before, no one we know in the area had. He killed it the last day of ML at bout 8 am as it follow some does. It was really lean and rutted out but the taxi mounted it with a swollen neck like it would of been earlier in the fall. It really is a beast. It has great mass, junk, just under 20" inside now. It has a little of everything . He said after the smoke cleared it was struggling trying to get up. As he was reloading all he could think was "please don't get up, please don't get up!" By the time he finished reloading the deer was done tho.

That had to be incredibly nerve-racking!

Have you guys put a tape to it since it's been mounted, Jake?

Just don't let any B&C panel score it! Lol

IMO, I think your b-i-l is close on the gross.
