Congratulations! That has to be the biggest public land buck ever taken is Alabama.
I would bet you will be getting calls from magazines. Congrats on a STUD! I don't think it's the biggest to come out of Bankhead, but I could be wrong.

You left out the part about me teaching you everything you know about deer hunting.  Just kidding. Congrats man! That is an amazing buck!

I would bet you will be getting calls from magazines. Congrats on a STUD! I don't think it's the biggest to come out of Bankhead, but I could be wrong. Willie Martin "The Bankhead Forest Monster" taken Nov.1973. Net typical 180 7/8 (gross 203) net non-typical 207 (gross 212 4/8). For years was # 3 typ, overall and biggest public land buck, may still be. Mainframe 6x5, the missing matching tine keeps it from netting close to 200 typ. It has 4 tines over 12" and both beams are 27" plus. Willie , before his death lived on "Skyline Mountain". I've seen this buck several times. Most recently last year my son and I went to see it. Even though I had seen it a couple of times before, it was still jaw dropping. My description doesn't do justice nor does pictures.

"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

You sir have my respect. I walked miles of that forest for over ten years hoping on that opportunity but you sealed the deal. Congrats and high fives!

I would bet you will be getting calls from magazines. Congrats on a STUD! I don't think it's the biggest to come out of Bankhead, but I could be wrong. I know of at least three bigger than this one that have all come from Bankhead. One of which 2dogs already covered. There has been a mid 230's killed with a bow and a 211 killed with a rifle. Not to mention a truck load of 160-180 deer. All public land from the same place.
