Ive seen 1 deer personally In Crenshaw county that went over 200. That was killed by my brother in the early 80's. Seen a few in lowndes and Wilcox that were whoppers. Mounted one that came from sardis last year that was an absolute monster. Only had half an ear left.

Nice deer Squeaky! Still not of Festus's standards (250+). Festus, I hunted Society Hill, know the Torbert family as well. Big Swamp Hunting club, George Mann, etc. BullSchit flag is thrown! Back it up with a picture, you started the thread.

204 Field dressed , should be over 250 on the hoof. Killed 2 years ago, I have a pic of the scales wink. The pics are after field dressing , thick little feller. That's the heaviest I've killed , but have a pile that field dressed over 160Lbs.

I told them above there would be few if any from back then .nobody took pictures back then he'll good many just threw the antlers away.

Most of the ones that took pictures I knew were of bucks killed at night and rode around till they blew up .

Exactly. This was back when you had to send film off to be developed and there was no internet to show off a picture of a buck. What were you going to do? Have a bunch of wallet size photos made up and pass them out to your friends. Most of the people I knew back then were the kind of people that would kill a 130 to 140 class buck and do little more than nail the horns to a barn door. I don't even know what happened to the horns off the buck I mentioned in my first post much less any photo that might have been taken. Different time back then.

This is one my grandad killed in the early 80’s in South Montgomery My dad found it thrown in the barn years later. Finally got them fixed up this year, a little wood stain to darken the antlers up since they had turned solid white and a replica skull brought them back to life. Picture doesn’t do the mass justice. No clue what the deer weighed but the antlers are heavy!!

I was in the now infamous Riverdale club in Dallas county for several years. They had a set of scales at the sign in board and would weigh every buck taken. I would watch yet another 200+ lb buck weighed in and think to myself man, that deer looks to be no more than 160 or so. I mentioned this one day and the ones who had killed 200+ bucks all blasted me. I put the scale up high and weighed myself with it. I was 190 lbs at the time and the scale showed 220 lbs.

No problem at all. I just wanted to see a picture of a deer from Alabama that was 280+. Kinda like you, I looked at the thread because I find them fascinating creatures. I would like to see a picture, is that so damn offensive?

Three things to get size deer:

1. Age
2. Food
3. Genetics


Also, too many people shoot the "it's a good 8 point, had to shoot it or my neighbor would have!" bucks. If that makes them happy, fine. So be it.

But you can't get 4-, 5- and 6-year-old bucks - if that's what you want - by shooting the 2.5-year-old spindly 8-point.
