The
buck had an 18 1/2 inch inside spread with 12
points (6 x 6). The beams were 8 INCHES around
at the thickest point. The tines were pretty
long (but the palmation of the antlers kept
them from being super long) It had 8 1/2 inches
between the brow tines and was definately older
than 4 1/2.
The
hooves were cracked and worn, and he even had
what seemed to be a few OLD gunshot injuries
from the scar tissue on the hide etc.
Looks
like the old Rhino
37 did him right as well as the Real Scent
he was using (and the Wilson Game Calls executioner).
He
arrived to his stand a little late, called me
on the radio, and told me he had seen a big
buck heading into the peach orchard across his
travel route to his tree stand. He asked me
what he should do and I told him to find a seat
and start esterus calling.
He
said that he did that for about 30 seconds and
the buck walked right out of the orchard trees
and he double lunged him from about 15 yards
or less. Went 40 yards and dropped.
AMAZING
BUCK for his first buck with a bow, and second
buck in his hunting carreer. I told him he might
as well quit now.
