I made those measurements up. J/K. My neighbor scored the deer. I was there when they brought it over. I've got 2 other trail cam pics of him. Here you go......

Awesome pose for the cam buster! Did the sucessful hunter know about the buck before he took him?
Love checking the trailcams and just cannot imagine how I would act knowing something like that was running around where I am hunting but hopefully one day I will get that thrill. Thanks again for sharing this awesome hoosier buck.

I know they knew he existed but I don't think they knew he was that close. We had seen him several times during the day since October. I'm really surprised he made it that far into gun season. You should've seen him in velvet....

Not as sick as my buddy who had him at 60 yards, not once, not twice, but THREE times within 24 hours of him being killed. All 3 times on his own property. Unbeknownst to us, he was wounded at the time. He was bedded in a thicket that was way too thick to shoot through cleanly. It would be worse to cripple and lose a buck like that than to not get him at all.

Yea I agree, sounds like he needed firearms to be lin. I saw your buck on the check in thread, nice deer. I had little ones all over me in archery and saw one shooter which I shot. Since firearms opened though it just shut down. Will be out this weekend trying to put the boy on one, corn was just shelled Sunday.

I don't see anything extreme either? Although I would try to give them more than a 40 acre refuge. 6 bucks on the B&C website is all that it takes to convince you that it is working? This year alone ... 6 big bucks in the Boone/Crocket record book this year... This year alone..so far..I was convinced a long time ago though FYI.Take a look.. In years prior we were lucky to get one entry a year. www.boone-crockett.org/news/trophyWatch.asp?area=newsYes, as I recall you were among those convinced that the OBR was working the instant it began. While touting those 6 bucks you conveniently ignore the fact that more bucks have been killed during the 7 years of the OBR than were killed in any year prior to the start of it.

I wouldn't call them extreme necessarily but I would definitely call several them odd.
and kill as many coyotes as I can all year.
I also don't hunt small game, birds, mushrooms or anything else on the farm.
IMO, these two "philosophies" contradict each other
and this statement... I dont...... or allow logging. makes everything else he does seem kind of silly. Selective logging creates critical, thick bedding habitat and would likely be more beneficial than anything else he espouses, especially in the "sanctuary".

While touting those 6 bucks you conveniently ignore the fact that more bucks have been killed during the 7 years of the OBR than were killed in any year prior to the start of it. I consider these big bucks to be more the product of Indiana's liberal doe quotas than the OBR. The same number of bucks are being killed now as before OBR. And we all know that hundreds of "hunters" statewide ignore the one-buck quota -- we've all heard of "friends of a friend" who tag second bucks in their wives' names, etc. My reasoning for why I believe it has to do with doe kills is three fold: 1. Less does means more nutrition for bucks, resulting in larger antlers. 2. Remaining does have more nutrition, therefore twins or triplets are possible -- which should equate to more buck fawns being born. 3. Bucks have to search more for does when there are less of them, which means they have to travel more often and farther, which in turn makes them more likely to walk into a hunter's sights. None of the above is necessarily based on scientific fact, but rather my own personal opinions.

I guess I never really considered food/nutrition lacking in Indiana, or the deer herd so large that there was competition for food/nutrition.
