Yesterday, Spitz from here on MM, another buddy - Ryan, and I went whitetail hunting on a ranch where I shot a big whitetail earlier this season. Didn't see anything huge, but we did find this buck bedded at about 400 yards.
I offered to film both of them while they stalked and shot this buck. Graciously, they both declined, telling me to bring my son, Matthew, out in the morning and see if he could shoot the buck.
Well, Matthew, took one look at the buck and was happy to oblige. Can't be having these kind of freaks in the gene pool. Ten minutes after shooting light, this buck had chased his last doe.
As the saying goes, "If you can't shoot a big one, shoot an ugly one!"
This one isn't huge, but he is closer to the big end of the scale than he is to the small end of the scale.
His extra main beam and palmation, put him real high on the ugly meter.
Here are a few pics to give you an idea of how cool this buck looks:
Very good mass and tine length, even on the side that is a typical 4-point.
Nice palmation on the drivers side.
A third main beam comes straight up and has two other nice points coming off it.
The view Matthew had as the deer walked away from 150 yards. Hard to pass this shot, especially if you are a whitetail nut like Matthew and me.
Thanks to Spitz and Ryan for passing on this buck.
What a great morning, a great buck, and a great hunt with my son.
