I have seen this deer 4-5 times on trail camera photos. I was actually getting ready for work one morning when i happened to check my trail cam on my phone and luck had it this buck was daylighting right at my hunting spot. I was in my kitchen, and this buck was 100 ish yards into my woods behind my house. I ran to the gun safe and snuck down the trail as quietly as possible. I feared i would spook him and he would run off but i was able to get within 60 ish yards from him. I knew i coudnt get any closer, so i drew my rifle and tried to steady myself for a free-standing 60 yard shot. I fired and dropped him on the spot! This deer weighed 204Lbs before cutting into him. He has 8 beautiful points and roughly scored 125 and 1/8 inches. Biggest deer to date and he is now hanging in my living room as a european mount i did myself. Awesome “hunt” before work!
