Harris county heavyweight

[Beagler282]

This old fella was the man of the woods. When he would come in to eat everyone would leave. I had many pics of this deer and it all finally come together for us to meet up. He had a beautiful rack last year but for some reason it was messed up this year. After looking at him real good his foot was messed up. Not sure if that was the cause but maybe. I certainly had to weigh him to see how truly big he is. 236 lbs on the hoof and 6 yrs old. A true heavyweight monarch. Certainly blessed to harvest this brute. Here's some pics of the old man.

Killing any 6 year old buck is an accomplishment in itself. Congrats!

Crazy as it sounds I actually thanked the deer while sitting next to him choosing me after so many years of hiding from other hunters.

You know there is no such thing as mature deer coming out during daylight and eating corn. Corn makes them nocturnal...LOL

Man what a bruiser. Based on the pic of his hoof it was time to take him and you scored. Congratulations on a beast of a buck.

Those old ones rarely move in daylight,other than the rut. Good job on being in the right place/right time..and keeping it together. I remember praying,thanking the lord,thanking others who had helped me get the opportunity...and getting teary eyed..after killing one I hunted like that! It’s what keeps you plugging along thru the hard times...
