Ok give us more story on that massive buck in the sxs, congratulations to all

My son was invited to hunt with a coworker over the weekend in Ky. He had showed him a picture of the buck below using the property. His coworker said he hoped he didn't kill the buck he had showed him the picture of but understood if he did kill it. He also said he had a picture of another buck. Yesterday he shot at the buck he killed and thought he missed. I told him to look again this morning to make sure. He found where the deer had bedded and found blood. He started tracking and jumped it and killed it when it came up. The buck below stood about 100 yards from them as they loaded the big buck..
He has had a stellar year. The bow kill buck grossed 180's and the buck in the sxs 230's. His mom told him to buy powerball tickets.

He applied for a bow hunt on a refuge in Illinois and got drawn. Apparently you get drawn for a specific stand like HAAP. He called the area manager and was told of a big crab claw 10 in his hunt area. The morning of the hunt he overslept and didn't get to his stand until 8. Hunter saw the deer as he walked in and shortly after he was in the stand the deer showed up. He shot and watched the deer run off then turn back and it fell less than 40 yards from his stand. The whole hunt was less than 45 minutes.

Growing up we nicknamed Hunter the button buck king. Probably 80% if the deer he killed were button bucks. On one juvenile hunt we had a bachelor group of 6 deer all but one were nice deer, 6 point or better. He killed a three point.
