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.
