Hey BBH, Thank you. That sure is a WHOPPER!

The guy holding up the head does appear to be in a state of shock.

jeez, he could have at least waited until it was mature... poor little bambi.... ;-)

HOLY CRAP! that is a huge deer! i agree, that guy looks like he doesnt believe it...

i'm sure i'd never get a clean shot off on a deer like that. my shorts would be all squishy from crapping them and my eyes would water...

DAMN!

Here's more on that buck from the Ohio DNR-Division of Wildlife

So do the Amish believe in allowing their bucks to be scored and entered into the Boone & Crockett record book ? Or is that considered 'prideful' and thus sinful ? bewildered

I'd really love to think this dude made his own crossbow, bolts and broadheads out of whatever materials he had available. And rode the buggy to and from the stand.

It'd be really sweet if he used simple homemade equipment with no high tech gadgetry Big Grin
