Nice work on a handsome buck! Such white antlers. That's a fair piece for a shot.

Nice buck for sure congratulations. Yea that's quite a shot, outta my realm for sure, good job.

Great deer! Nice shot with a good rifle and a balanced load will get the job done every time. Congratulations. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Tristan,

Again,congratulations on such a nice harvest!!!!!

Well to answer your question Top Dog, he would have been close to 220 lbs live weight. Our scale is in need of maintenance otherwise I could give you a concrete answer. To answer your second question he was close to 280 yards away.

Thanks, Tristan

Tristan,
He looked like 200+ lbs. 280 yards? Gosh that was a great shot!!!
I have a state forest near me which is probably the best kept secret in the state.

A couple of years ago,an archer harvested a 305 lb whitetail buck. You haul that out of the woods and it is uphill both ways!!!

Nice ! Is that a rubber band on the front sight to hold the aperture in place?

yup. makes for a bad your insert falls out.

Very nice deer!!!!

By the way, get a thin "O" ring to go over the sight to keep the "door closed". Looks good and works well.

Nice deer!!
