Hey guys! After several request to post my story here goes. First off I grew up hunting Barbour management area with my dad and brother. We all took our first deer and turkey off this management area. I hunted that
morning only seeing two does. I left my stand on the tree for the afternoon hunt. As I was going in that afternoon I got to where I cross a steep creek about 100 yards from my stand . As I stood up on the other side of the creek I seen a deer take off about 50 yards in front of me . I knew as soon as I seen him he was huge. He ran to my right about 40 yards and stopped behind some trees . I put my gun up in the next gap in the trees and he walked out but kinda turned his head back toward my stand like he did not see me . I pulled the trigger and he mule kicked and ran . I thought I seen him fall as he was going out of sight but was not sure. I called my brother which was hunting down the road from me. He told me to not move he was on the way. Him and my dad were walking in together . To say I was excited is an understatement!! I set there on my knees preying I
got this deer. I could not wait any longer so i walked up to where I thought he was and started finding blood. I only followed it a few yards before I could see him laying in the leaves. He had fell as he was going out of sight just like I thought. As I sat beside him with his rack in my lap the tears of joy started rolling down my face. I called my wife to tell her to bring my son (hes 6) to the management area I shot my biggest deer ever.
My dad and brother showed up and the celebration began. When we finally got him out I drove up to check station and everyone was so excited . Its a feeling I just cant explain with words . The pics of him on alabama
wildlife and freshwater fisheries facebook page were from the morning after i shot him. I had took my orange hat off at the check station and they would not post them because i had no orange on. That pic was after the
deer was in my truck all night. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted pics and shared this deer. I still cant believe It !!

thanks guys! He was aged at 5 1/2 and rough scored 150". I was so in shock at the check station I dont remember all the measurements but I know they said 6" and 61/4" on the bases.
I have him in the big buck bounty in dothan and just found out I won the weekly prize. I am truly blessed.
