He is a good guy and a close friend of my wife’s family. Can’t wait to hear the story directly from him about his once in a lifetime buck!

That is a huge deer, but I just don’t see 200”. Guess I don’t know how to score and judge a non-typical.
Great deer though!

I wonder if there is something about how they restore those strip mines that introduces an abundance of certain minerals that influence antler growth? I know reclaimed strip mines can make good deer habitat with the browse and cover but I don’t think that alone can explain some of these giants coming out of that area. And I don’t think it’s Michigan genetics spreading south from Bankhead either.

I honestly believe it brings up minerals that were further down in the soil. We all know it’s the dirt that makes big deer.

A lot of the strip mine land in various areas does produce big deer. Arent most of them in pretty rugged terrain?? I’ve got several clients there. It can be very rugged, rocky and remote in places. I’ve also wondered about the fertility of the minerals they brought to the surface. There’s always BIG deer in that general area. I also think some of it may very well be some genetic influence from Bankhead. It’s not that far given the dispersal of young bucks and they’ve had 98 years to do it.
