skeeter this 6 pointer is one sly old dog, I have hunted the you know what out of this property and only seen him once, he is huge, both in body and rack. The guy who owns the property is one heck of a hunter, he has a trophy room full of big white tails, one beautiful mulie, and one really nice Elk to boot. He has the 6 point on video tape taken during the off season, he told me he hunted him hard for three years and threw the towel in on him.
I know where he beds, it is in an overgrown field where he has every advantage in the world, the one time I saw him was at about 100 yards, jumped him out of his bed, there is only one word I can use to describe him, majestic! He enters the bedding area before sunup and leaves after sundown. One of these days, I hope before he starts going down hill he is going to slip up and I hope I am there when he does.
The basket 8 was young last year, I have a feeling he is pretty big now if the 6 point is his daddy! I just hope the 6 point is a prolific breeder!!!!
