Very unique Buck. I try to harvest a nice four by four or five by five typical every year (over 130) but that buck would definitely had my crosshairs on it had I gotten the chance. Congratulations on a nice buck,the body looks very large,I am thinking that being that age it may not have been as great to eat,am I right? Again thanks for sharing a great buck story.

Thats a great looking buck,it is to bad you did not get to bring the meat home did Canada's games laws make it to big a hassle to get home with it.

That would ruin it for me. We meat hunt first and the trophy is an added bonus. I want my backstraps or I would stay in Canada until I had eaten my deer!

Great looking buck OFC, where in Alberta did you shoot it?

OneFatCat · 05-11-2009, 09:31 PM

Very impresive trophy! But what I want to know is how much does the kitty in your avatar weigh? I have one that goes well over 30 but I havent weighed him in a long time.

OneFatCat · 06-10-2009, 08:50 AM

LOL Jack ...think that ole cat would field dress at 30lbs

swanshot · 06-14-2009, 01:50 AM

Good one---what did you take him with?
Rifle and load I mean

OneFatCat · 06-14-2009, 07:47 AM

Took him with a TC Encore in a 7mm08 with a 139gr Ballistic tip

Always wanted an encore, Very rare thing here in Aus. I've only ever seen one.
I have great respect for anyone who hunts with a single shot rifle. Well done
