South Dakota Monster??

[Bowhunter500]

I don’t know any details of the deer, my wife shared it to me on Facebook. Anyone heard of anything??

 

[Hardwood11]

Wow...that is a moose! That state is very underrated for quality bucks

 

[Ishi]

Am I seeing this right??....... looks like so serious rope burn going on the neck Oh ya that’s a tank

 

[Bowhunter500]

I can tell you one thing, there’s no way you would be dragging that one out alone!!

 

[HorseDoctor]

Great buck! But (agree with Ishi), not being very careful with the cape! Probably end up with skull nailed to someone's barn...

That's for sure. Jeewiz

That looks exactly the body size of the buck I shot last year early muzzy. Thing was a tank, locker got 120 pounds of boned out meat from it. A buddy and myself had to drag it 600 yards along a cornfield (instead of briars) took 2+ hours, I was whooped for 2 days after that. BTW my rack wasn't as impressive, only 155 inch. Nice buck.

Tank!!!!! Would like to hear the story behind it

Omg! I bet that’s abnormally gigantic for SD though. I see nice ones and occasionally giants but sure not very many. Not like ia, ks, Canada, Ohio. Maybe I’m wrong though. I think they also have some crazy early rifle season? At least in peak rut (which is game over for buck potential). But ya, dang - that’s a giant!

What a giant, sure would be nice to know what it weighs. The chest on that buck is huge.

South Dakota East River starts around Nov 18-20

Key is though, they limit buck tags for rifle. Archery is OTC

 

[RoosterCogburn]

he's a giant thats for sure. Love the power of social media, 10-15 years ago nobody outside of the small (i assume) SD town would have ever seen or heard of this buck.

 

[EatSleepHunt]

I think I would have a bigger rope holding that thing up! It might be the angle but that guy next to it is pretty big and that deer dwarfs him. Unless that guy is 5 foot tall!

 

[Mike311]

I always hang them by the hocks any benefits either way? Would like to know that things gross weight, any guesses?

 

[203ntyp]

One word for that buck PIG!

 

[Crockett]

That is a big boy!! The deer ain’t small either!! That is a whopper animal anywhere!!

 

[Jbohn]

Toad !!!

 

[oh2b]

No doubt its a big deer but that pic makes it look bigger than it is. The deer scores just shy of 180". Not sure what the actual weight was

 

[Mike311]

Either way, one to be proud of.
