Damn good deer.

That’s a nice one for sure

That one got lost.......from Illinois.

I want to know this guy’s story. That, at least IMO, is the same Bankhead guy from last year. He’s killing P&Y/B&C bucks every year (or least 2 years in a row) that most people only see a couple times in Alabama in a lifetime. My cousin killed several giants (for AL standards) that were mid 130s. Then killed a 188 in Iowa and that 146 in Illinois last week I posted. Those are both huge deer. I’m not accusing the guy of anything. I just want to know his story. Congrats to him and all but I think it’s normal to raise eyebrows over 2 years in a row in AL when you aren’t hunting Dream Ranch

Pat of Pats Archery is a older gentleman
unless he sold his business.
Not sure who the guy is but he is on some deer!!!

Pat Patton sold his store to the guy in the picture a few years back. He's a good guy.From what I heard that deer was killed somewhere around Union Springs. I don't know if it was high fence or not. If you're ever in there take time to talk to Paul in the archery department, he has multiple 150's on the walls inside the store, and a really good guy. No it's not the same guy who killed the giant in Bankhead last year.

This is the caption with the pic (same pic on here) on FB....

Congrats Reed Jackson owner of Pats Archery in Jasper, AL. on a Bama beast! "Little Rattling and a few grunts on the Houndstooth Walnut Grunt and he was there!" Moral of this story is don't be afraid to call to deer ya never know when it might work!

There are several “ hunting preserves “ around union springs. Not saying it’s a high fence deer but .......... this is Alabama

That’s what I’m saying. I’m not knocking the guy or saying he’s taking deer illegally by any means. It’s just 2 years in a row now (maybe more) and he’s killing P&Y/B&C deer. I just want to know the story. Good hunting strategy is one thing and can’t net some good results...but you can have all the strategy you want and it doesn’t change AL genetics. Even for Bankhead where there are notoriously big deer. Good for him and all that. Again, I’m not knocking another man’s success.

NOT THE SAME GUY. I know Reed and he did not kill the buck in Bankhead last year.

That's not the same guy..... So it wasn't "two" years in a row. Maybe Lyle will give us some insight since he is a member of the forum and was the one to post this on Facebook. Seems doubtful that he would post a high fence deer, but maybe he did.

Man they look a lot alike. So was this not killed in Bankhead? I saw Bankhead or Union Springs

Damn, no wonder most of the big deer Aldeer members kill don't get posted.

Man, I’m not knocking the guy. I said at least 3 times I just want to know the story. It’s an impressive deer. But when you see deer like that popping up in AL, you want to know the story.

I think they said it was killed somewhere between Jasper and Union Springs……..

And most people that kill them don’t want you to know the story. 95 percent of us don’t own our own hunting land and deer like that will get you monied out of a good spot in a hurry, or poached all over.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Damn nice deer

I saw the buck on his personal page and text him congrats. Told him I would share it after his shop posted it didn't wanna steal someone's thunder after he explained to me how he used the grunt and rattling. All I know is he said on his personal page he had bow hunted 23 yrs and 17 of them were on this property. So I took it he finally killed a trophy bama buck on a place he had hunted a long time. I can't tell ya where he killed it may never know. I can tell ya they have been a great dealer to me and he buys his personal calls in his order every season. So when a success picture comes from any dealer or customer I will post it with the available info I have been given. It's not in me to separate us as hunters by high fence or fair chase. I just can't I feel like I am ruining something that maybe one of the most special moments that person may have in their life. So as long as our game laws are followed I am good with it. I will tell you this there are plenty of bucks that are out there you don't know about and won't no about that are killed on property here in the south. They don't want the publicity of whitetail record books and will never let you know about it. I have seen pictures of them and I have laid my hands on them. I also know that those people are extremely private. So on a ending note I only know the small part how it lead up to the kill. ~LG

That kinda buck right there is what we are all after at tbe end of the day (well, most of us at least). Congrats to the man on a deer of a lifetime. Thats a stud in any state.
