That sucker was 1.5 miles off the road. That place isn't easy hunting to say the least. I see a lot of deer over there but I am also worn out on the way home afterwards. Lots of boot leather to get to the good deer #'s that I've found.

While we all want to honor the hunter for his skill in killing the buck, and he is certainly due all the accolades he gets, let's not forget where the real skill lies in that picture. The real skill is in the buck that walked around, fed, bred and grew on public land for 8 1/2 years without getting shot. That is an amazing feat. Or worse yet, hit & killed by a car. (It would probably be an old Chevy Chevette that got him).

That is a magnificent animal. If that deer really was 8 years old, I can't imagine what he would have looked like 2 years ago.
all bucks don't peak at six I know what he looked like last year. At least one person knew this deer existed and had pics of it. He had far more trash last year but his mainframe looked smaller to me. I'm not sure if this wasn't his best rack.

Where in the world did you come up with that assumption? There is not a single word in jawbone's post indicating he said it was easy to kill a buck like that. You need to read more carefully and hone your comprehension skills. He admired both the hunter AND the deer, and his comment was absolutely true.
