I would put that one on my hood and drive him around for a week. I could care less what someone on a Georgia forum said was illegal.

I grew up a few counties to the east of where this buck was killed. I found a shed to a typical 14 point when I was a kid. I lost it over the years. Biggest shed I've ever seen.

"A trail cam pic of the giant buck one week earlier. Amazingly, this buck was caught on trail camera 5 miles from where it was shot!"

"If you look close you see where the second shot grazed his skull. Miraculously, the slug didn’t crack or break the skull."
