PWN375Oklahoma trophy 13 point whitetail
My step-father, Don Workman, killed this buck on our property in the SE part of the state on the last day of gun season. He was using his trusty Remington 760 in 30.06 loaded with factory green box Remington 180 grain loads. The shot was about 30 yards from an elevated box blind over looking a food plot. The deer dropped in his tracks from a high spine shot. We have owned the property for the past 28 years and taken some nice deer over that time. However, this is the largest buck taken. On that day the wind was blowing about 30 miles an hour and it was 72 degrees at daylight. Just proves you never know when the big ones will show up.

adamhunterGreat, great deer! Congrats to hunter!!
30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

bwanamrmSerious deer that one!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Futrdoclooks like a nice mule deer! I always like someone willing to stick out "bad" conditions. Maybe you should get a mold of the antlers and mount it with a mule deer cape, set them together, and ask people which one is the reproduction...

JLHeardWow.
It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it...So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

Biggs300I've hunted in several areas of the state including the SE and that is probably the best buck that I've seen. Congrats!
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

PWN375Proof that good guys finish first. My stepdad is one of the best men and nicest fellows you could ever hope to meet. He deserves a great buck like this considering all the work and effort he has put into our place over the years.
