[Little Mac]

[SSG Johnson]

Now thats what im talking about. Look at the mass on that dude not to mention the nice rack. Thats a trophy in anyones book. Now thats what should have won the Big Buck contest. Lets have the story behind that big boy.

[Chuckb]

Thats a great buck, congratulations man.

[butlersbeagles]

I shot him at 9:30 in the morning.I was hunting in Muskingum County Ohio on private land.We had just pushed this valley out that was to the back of me and i was sitting waiting on the guys to push the valley out that was in front of me. Something caught my right eye and i looked and it was a bigger buck than the one i took. It came from the valley we already pushed from behind me and he wasnt slowing down.I couldnt get my crosshairs on him in time so i turned my head to see where it might have came from and thats when i seen this boy jumping the road heading to the right of me at about 175 yards. He got into a clearing and i hollered as i already had the crosshairs on him waiting for him to stop.When i hollered he stopped and i shot and he dropped.I was using a New England 50 cal muzzleloader the breakdown 209 primer one with 90 grains of powder and 44/244 Hornady sabots.

[jason454ci]

Nice corn fed Muskingum county buck you got there. Congrats!!! There sure are some dandys in this part of Ohio.

[Thomas P. Conley]

WOW what a nice Buck and the rack is very impressive. See Smoke Poles can shoot as well or better as any of them out there. Nice Deer....

[butlersbeagles]

Im guessing it will score around 160-170.As soon as i get it scored Ill let everyone know.It was my first time every hunting on this piece of land.Its off of exit 164 off of 70 west.Great land.My buddy missed one bigger than that today.Thanks for all of the praises on the deer.Now you guys can help me decided how to get it mounted.Any ideas.

[maddcatter]

Nice buck. I was hunting in muskingum that day too, only about 15 minutes from you. I just didn't see any bucks.

[butlersbeagles]

Just got the green score back on my buck. It was 161 3/4. Im not sure how much you lose in the drying but im taking it to the Ohio Deer and Turkey expo to have it dry scored officialy by the big buck club

[derbycitycatman]

I think I lost about 10 points give or take after drying. So id say about 150 give or take.

[Rockjumper]

I would have passed him up. Not!

[centralcalcat]

That is a great deer. Congradulations

[solomon]

that's a beautiful buck! Congratulations!!

[hookeye]

WOW!!!

That is one fine animal.

[teaysvalleyguy]

Another awesome buck from Ohio, congrats on the kill.

[catfishrus]

nice mature deer. i dont think he will make the 160 mark on the b/c scoring system. ive looked at the picture four times. he looks to gross around 153 and net 146. that g3 on the rt. side is alot shorter than the lf side so a little deduction. he want lose 10inches either. that comes from measureing wrong to start out with. milo hanson buck green scored 218 and drye scored 214.its just hard to hit the 160 class with a eight pointer but ill take 153 evertime they step out.

[beaneye46]

id like to shoot one like that

[butlersbeagles]

Just got the mount back from the taxidermist today.This is the finished product.I will be taking him to the deer and turkey expo in march to have him scored.

[butlersbeagles]

Let me know what you think.Thanks

[Ulizth]

It just goes to show how good Ohio is for deer. Congrats.

[John Rogers]

It does not get any better than that!!! What a HAWGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!! I saw one like that in November. Shot him with a Hammer Head style broadhead. Within 40 yds he ran slam into a hickory flopped over and started kicking! I have not posted any pics because I did not want to seem as being cocky. :grin-big:

[Creek_Chub]
