I got my nontypical whitetail buck back from the taxidermist last week. Killed this one opening day of bow season last year, October 15, 2013, on my farm in Madison County, Alabama. The buck scores 170 4/8 Pope & Young, which does not count the 7 inch drop tine which broke off when he fell after a 60 yard death run. Gross score, counting the drop tine is 189. Mounted by Bob Rodgers, Cave Spring Taxidermy.    -------------------------------------------- National Rifle Association - Life Member National Wild Turkey Federation - Diamond Life Sponsor Pope & Young Club - Associate Member | ||

I like his dark face as well. He's an exceptional animal from the Great State of Alabaaaama  I took a neat ancient swamp buck this last season in Southern GA this made me think of but mine was not 189!! Congrats on a unique and wonderful animal | |||

Hell of a buck Andy, congrats! Most rifle hunters will never take a buck like that.

Wow, helluva whitetail! 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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

He looks very regal. I think it would look very nice if you took a nice big doe and put her up there next to him. | |||

Isn't that the "Black Belt" that runs through Alabama and Louisiana, that grows monster bucks? | |||

Nicely done over the top buck. Wow. Did you hang him on a scale? Just curious on the body size. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

I am actually north of the Blackbelt region, which runs across the middle of south Alabama. I am just south of the Tennessee state line. The area around me has a lot of crops (soybeans, corn, wheat) and residential developments are springing up everywhere. This development has cut down the amount of rifle hunting in a lot of areas and as a result the deer are getting to grow older, thus bigger. I did not weigh the buck, but here are a couple of trail cam photos to show the body size. One is of him in velvet and the other was taken a week before he met my arrow.   -------------------------------------------- National Rifle Association - Life Member National Wild Turkey Federation - Diamond Life Sponsor Pope & Young Club - Associate Member | |||
