biggest deer ive seen in person was at mastin lake and 53. it was an 8 with maybe a 23" spread.
Scrape you're right about that. I live off of 53 in Harvest and the biggest deer I have ever seen in my life have came off Capshaw Mountain.
All the land around heres old Kelly land and I used to talk to them when I'd see them around. Used to tell me that he had trail cams on different small tracts that were in the area around the big neighborhood and high school and those bucks ran all over.
Sure enough last night I was driving through the neighborhood and came to where I faced a service road up the mountain and turned right. When my headlights hit the woods I could see eyes so I whipped around and got out my flashlight; staring back at was three sets of eyes, two does running in the woods and then a REAL big 8 in the middle of someones backyard that backed up to the mountain. He just stood there staring down the does while I had my flashlight on him about 30 yards away. Definitely didn't give a damn that i was sitting there with a big light in his face.
Two seasons ago I was on the way to hunt one morning and I had a monster level with the truck trying to run a doe across the street Had to have been an 150" deer. IF my truck hadn't been there to come between them, that buck would have ran that doe on to the Sparkman football field.
Don't even get me started on those deer on 53 before it becomes Jordan Lane.
