I know a lot of you are familiar with the buck that I call "The Ribcage Buck." I actually named him that after some help from you guys here on the forum last summer!
Anyway, people keep asking me about him, wondering if i ever saw him again this past season or found his sheds or anything so i figured i would make a post about this awesome deer now that i know his story.
It turns out that the ribcage buck was actually killed by a buddy of mine. He hunts a property that is actually about 2 miles from where i watched the buck all summer and on the morning of November 7th he met his match. My buddy Nate said that it was a crazy morning. Bucks chasing does everywhere before it even got light out. Fortunately it was light enough when this awesome buck stepped out and gave him a shot.
I just now got pictures from him so thats why i am making this post now. The awesome buck scored 173" and some change and although many of us thought that he may have been only 3.5-4.5, Nate said that he is almost positive that he had seen the deer the year before and that he was bigger. I guess we will never know for sure, but what a truely impressive animal!
