One of the biggest I have ever seen was on our farm in a corner that stays too wet and we've got a briar patch about 1/8 acre. Right next to a county gravel road and a deep dtich. You could throw a burger sack out the window over into this little patch as you passed.
Sent my bird dog in there to flush a rabbit and out comes 4 deer one probably woulda pushed 170 inches. Watched it bounce off into the distance across my Uncle's pasture and over a rise never to be seen again.
If I had had a round of buck shot in my coat pocket I'd have never got it in the gun I just stood there with my jaw dropped watching I couldn't believe it.
Back in the 70s my uncle always hunted with a double barrel with bird shot in one and buckshot in the other. He was a opportunity hunter. Rabbit, squirrel or buck it didn't matter. Anytime he killed a buck we knew we had to be carful eating it because he always shot both barrels on a deer.
