RE: Houston, we have a BBD!
I don't believe he had been keeping up with his brushing Andy, so I had to put him down.
He should tip the scales at over 200#'s, but I will be sure to put him on a scale for an accurate dressed weight. I do have a history with this buck. I had been hunting him last year. I believe he may have been a bit bigger last year. I looked through my 2006 cam pictures yesterday and saw that this buck had been at my stand during Halloween night during shooting hours, in 2006. I had not hunted there yet this year, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Just got lucky I guess, but I also did my homework.

The buck is a main frame 6X5, with a sticker on the left base. I haven't put a tape on him yet, but those dark horns I just couldn't resist. Should gross in the 140's, will put him on a scale in the morning.

Congrats, that is a hell of a buck.
