I heard this deer more than I ever saw him. He was mostly nocturnal, but I caught a glimpse of him leaving two mornings in a row, but beyond shooting range. On the 2nd evening, he came in a little earlier and gave me a 30-yard broadside shot. The buck didn’t go far, as I found him only 75 yards away. My brother told me I’d never shoot a bigger buck, and I haven’t... yet.

The hunters on that property decided to pass the buck in hopes that it would grow larger. This buck ended up bigger than anyone thought as the 14-point scored over 186" making it the largest buck to come from Realtree Farms.

This buck seemed to grow after the shot and ended up having 39 inches of mass. The 6 ½-yearold giant scored a whopping 181 6/8 inches and is David’s 2nd largest buck taken with his bow.

Buck I harvested this buck in 2021. This was a rare case where my planning worked out exactly as I had hoped. I found the buck, patterned him, figured out his bedding area, and set up between his bedding area and his feeding area. Soon, the buck came by me at seven yards. A very cool experience seeing a deer of his caliber cruising through the woods. Hunter: Thomas Meyers Gross Score: 175 4/8 Net Score: 172 2/8 Weapon: Archery Points: Year:Location:10Manitoba2021

I ranged “Show Stopper” at 25 yards and let the arrow fly. After the shot, he took off down a rolling hill out of sight, when he failed to emerge on the opposite side, I knew he was down. The buck was the biggest deer I had ever put my hands on, scoring 187". With 12 scoreable points, split brow tines, and bases like pop cans, he carried the mass throughout his antlers. My 2021 whitetail season was over just as fast as it began.

Buck Indiana deer hunter Dustin Huff killed a buck last fall on November 4th that rivaled the world record! He took two weeks off work to hunt, but wouldn’t need it all. As Dustin climbed into his stand, it wasn’t long before the buck was at 40 yards, and Dustin settled his crossbow on the buck’s shoulder and released the bolt. “The buck went down, and I screamed!” said Dustin. Dustin’s buck came in just 2 ⅛" under the worldrecord Hanson buck. Hunter: Dustin Huff Gross Score: 216 2/8 Net Score: 211 4/8 B&C Weapon: Crossbow Points: Year:Location:12Indiana2021

When the buck entered my shooting lane, I released my arrow. The shot felt great, and I was confident that the arrow hit the heart. The tracking job was short, and I found him less than 100 yards away. Thoughts of a 200" buck started to enter my mind, and the giant officially scored 205". All the hours of scouting had paid off!
