Gold strike on Fort Knox!!!

First off, let me say that I have thanked God multiple times for this buck.... I believe all good things come from the Lord, including racked bucks. So He gets the credit for this.

Yesterday at 5:20pm I was blessed to take an amazing 10 pt. on Fort Knox. He’s 21” wide, and has 24” beams. Total STUD in my opinion. One guy measured him at 160”, but I think he’s going to be closer to 155” - 158”. Regardless of score, he is an amazing buck and I’m extremely blessed to get him.

Here’s how he was when I found him.




I was by myself, so no field pics with me in them. Here’s tailgate pics at the check station.




I made a good heart shot on him from 65 yards, and of course he ran down into a draw. Thankfully I had my 4-wheeler, otherwise I’d still be dragging him out!

Wow, congrats he's a brute!

I appreciate all the comments. He may very well be my “buck-of-a-lifetime” that I can’t top... but I do plan to try!




Jeff, hunters on Fort Knox have a set time to be out of the woods after dark. I was racing the clock to get him out and be clear of the area, so I didn’t have time to take my own pics. Wish I had, but time was money after that shot.




I use a Savage 20 gauge slug gun that I bought from Lumpy several years back. Thankfully he sold it with good mojo on it!




I’ve been blessed with some good ones from Knox. Very thankful for them too.




You are correct that it ain’t an easy place to hunt. LOTS of walking, lots of hills, etc. Thankfully, as I’ve gotten older and just a little wiser, I’ve learned to not bite off more than I can chew.

Fantastic deer!

Jaw dropping deer right there!!!! Congrats!
