He was a monster this year. No telling what he will look like next year. I just hope he lives that long.

Did he drop one side or is it broken off?

Deer after rut can be hard to age but if he only 4 he could explode next year

Most likely a 110” straight 8 point with a bad attitude, mature and healthy. Statistically for AL, that is the most likely foe he faced.

Re: The big one - 02/05/24 05:57 PM

That is a moose hybrid. Look at them horns

I had one here one year that I believe was the baddest dude on the block. An old 8 point about 15” wide with the tips of every point broke off. All other bucks would clear a path when he came around. Brawlers sometimes don’t have massive racks

That's him. I bet he can get a lot of leverage with those breaker bars.

Re: The big one - 02/07/24 01:48 PM

Got a decent 3yr old 8 point out back. He dominates every other buck around. I have pics of him running much larger deer off. Gonna give him a pass this season because I think he has potential. Next year I will try to kill him quick for sure.

Re: The big one - 02/07/24 04:17 PM

Dang! Hope you get a shot. My last three deer seasons have been a bust. Passed on several 3 year old bucks. Good luck!

Re: The big one - 02/07/24 04:25 PM

That's a heart breaker. But who knows ? If he makes it till next year you may get a crack at him.

Re: The big one - 02/07/24 06:00 PM

I would look hard for the broken side,might tell you where he's stays and you could shoot him and glue the broken side back, I bet you have a good idea where he stays

Were hunting 20 acres we bought last year that he crosses regularly and stops to get a bite of corn. Its a funnel. Its possible the horn is laying on us but not likely at all. They bed on about 12 acres of it, i guss. To be honest, i havent stepped on that 12acres since season started and we only go to the other side to hunt or pour out corn

This is why quailman kills every spike he sees. lol

Jwalker, if he makes it, if you don’t bow hunt I would start this upcoming season. Cross bow, re curve, traditional, compound or a spear. I’d get him before someone else does. Good luck!

Maybe he'll make it til the end of the week. Can't wait to see what he becomes next year.

Re: The big one - 02/09/24 02:31 AM

I saw more bucks with broken racks this season than I have the last 10 combined. I’ve mentioned to several people that it was odd. I wonder if they just fought more this year, or could it be health/nutrient related?
Posted By: Frankie

Re: The big one - 02/09/24 04:01 AM

maybe Matt could reply . i heard a guy on tv say one time they brake more often in dryer years .
Posted By: coachg34

Re: The big one - 02/11/24 02:59 PM

As long as he doesn’t walk in front of the wrong person or get spotlighted . Hope he makes it ! I’ve been hearing of a monster close to where I hunt , but no pics or sightings by us .
Posted By: jwalker77

Re: The big one - 02/11/24 03:19 PM

Havent had any pictures of him since that night. His face looks bloody. I imagine hes laid up soewhere in a thicket healing, i hope so anyhow. I am getting pictures of alot of bucks right now, 2-3 in the same picture, eating together, now and then sparring a little. He was never n every daydeer, he just travelled through at night. Hoping to see him soon.
