Well I guess another big buck takes a toll in my neighborhood. My neighbor Victor Peterson shot a pig this afternoon. Only about a mile from our places. Victor and his fella hunting relatives decided to drive a patch of snake grass down along the creek. They got a doe and this buck in the same spot. It can’t be a patch more than 10 acres. None of the drivers knew where he came from, but Victor seen him coming and made a mad dash to get in shooting range. For some reason the buck stopped long enough for Vic to get a shot off. He hit paid dirt. The shot knocked him down, but may have been a spine shot. The buck was unable to get up and Vic took another shot to put this magnificent trophy down for good.
I did some scoring on this boy. He has 27 1/8 and 26 1/8 main beams. G 2’s both measured 13 2/8 inches! G 3’s are 12 2/8 and 11 6/8! I went to Boone and Crocket with my numbers had them calculate his measurements and to get n the all time records you need a score of 170. Boone and Crocket form has him at 173 2/8!!
Vic shot and real nice 8 pointer during bow season that he is getting mounted. He isn’t sure now, he might pass on the 8 pointer to put this baby on the wall!
Vic’s wife, Jamie asked me…”Is that a big BUCK??
P.S… Did I do a good job at picture taking??? I love that backdrop in this picture. Like Vic’s cousin said…”Looks like the picture was taken out in the Dakotas!”
For some reason my pictures won’t show????? Steve, do have any ideas why not???? I have posted pictures here before with no problems???
