RE: What's the oldest buck you have killed or seen?
Back in 2001 I killed an 8 and 1/2 year old buck that dressed at 228lbs. The processor actually has a photo of the buck taken from a helicopter the previous summer in the same corner where I shot him. I actually looked at the photo and the processor told me it was taken in my back field and what corner it was in. That made it very helpful on where to set up. I scouted the field for two weeks until the wind was right and I actually saw him coming out of the same spot across the field almost every day. Unfortunatley, I noticed he had a sever limp. When the wind was finally right, I moved in and he came by broadside at 20 yards.I again noticed the severe limp and that the rack seemed really odd. I looked down and could see he had been hit by a car, probably earlier in the spring as it effected his rack, but his front right leg was broken and not being used at all. Double lung shot with my bow and he only went 40 yards. The leg was pretty busted up and had lost most of the muscle mass in the shoulder. I will try and post some pics. Wish I could have seen him before the car accident as it really effected his rack.
