[QUOTE="gary66, post: 5424977, member: 16621"] I'm sure it isn't. I saw a buck a couple hundred yards out in a field that made me wonder if the guy down the road had lost a long horn, then a doe popped up. I estimated it at 400 pounds. Mentioned it to others and they said they'd seen it. We have farm ground in every direction, they eat well. 2 bucks were found dead, locked up, dnr was involved, both over 300 pounds. Biggest doe I've taken here went 250 pounds. You can take a 100 pound yearling here. I've hunted else where, way more deer but never the size. I'm pretty sure the 8 pointer I have mounted is 2 years, but not 3 old, same size as the pic. It was in the back part of my woods. Made it back real quiet, up the tree real quiet, got set real quiet turned 180 to look around and there it laid, bedded not 15 yards out. Had to turn back 180, grab the bow and turn back while drawing. It was licking it's back with it's neck wide open. The arrow left and drove down it's neck, as it rolled I had another arrow ready and gone through it's other side, it rolled back and another arrow drove through it's other side. One more hit it, it never left the ground. it went 275. Had a real crappy neighbor who shared the woods, it could not go there. [/QUOTE]
