Had a buddy over at the house one day and he measured it, don't know how accurate he was or even if he knew what he was doing. He told me 126, but I wouldn't be 100% sure with it.At a glance 120 -125
Top one grossed 148 Mitchell
Bottom 147 5/8 Tailaferro
Nice bany - let's hear that soppy story of the big'n.
My biggest was 245 lbs field dressed on the scale. Figure he was also around 300 on the hoof. I was blessed to hunt southern Ohio on a family friend's property for 8 years. Bigger racked bucks were killed on that property but the one I killed was likely the heaviest. It was a hunt I'll never forget.
I miss hunting those hills n hollers...the deer hunting was incredible. For the time being, getting back to the midwest to hunt isn't in the cards so I really enjoy the posts from Jim and others on here who hunt there and share their stories and pics.

We pulled him across the creek with ATV and rope and then up the other side. Would have pulled him up same side, but that was an island on that side. Great video, but I mentioned "Hades" in it so no posting ?Mercy what a beast Jim. I'll bet getting him up out of that creek weren't no prize!
Man, that's a mighty fine deer you've got there. Is that a Buckshot Equalizer climber? I hunt out of a Buckshot Cadillac climber, and love mine. Killed those deer in my pics above, out of it.Man , I like that ATV ! Got the same(99 model)! I gotta fix mine up with some Dawg stickers, that’s awesome!!
Here’s my buck from 2010. 145” shot while slowly walking out around 12 noon Nov 7.
He was trailing a pack of does after a heavy overnight rain.View attachment 1006615
