There is a lot of history behind this buck, so I will try to make it short. In 2003 my uncle shot this buck. At that time, he had a wider spread and longer tines. Only problem was, he only pulled the trigger 1 time. At 100 yards with a 20ga, the shoulder hit was not enough to drop this brute. We tracked him for 2 days that year, and never found him and he went out of sight for the next three years. Then on Monday Dec 4th, in the exact same location my uncle shot him, he met his demise at the end of my Rem 1100. He lost some tine lenght, but gained mass like you wouldn't believe. Over 40" of it! When we caped him out, we found my uncles 20 ga slug. It had barely penetrated the hide and had fat grown over it. He would have been a 16 point, but broke 4 off. Still, no complaints here. Great way to wrap up my 2006 search for big bucks!
