Great stories guys. Being from Kansas big bodied deer are common. I do however remember the biggest racked buck I have ever seen like it was yesterday. I had a small 8 point come into my set up about 8:30 on a cool early November morning. He was just browsing the forest floor without a care in the world. Once he would get about 30 or so yards awayI would give a light grunt and he would come back searching. We played this game for the better part of an hour and he decided to bed down about 20 yds from my tree. I was enjoying watching him chew his cudd and groom himself when his head quickly turned to his left. Well there he was comming in behind a hot doe. I litterally think I said " Jesus" out loud when I seen him. This buck was thick, tall, and wide. Steam was comming from his nostrils in the cold morning air. I never seen a rack like that in the wild that had everything a hunter could dream of. He was simply amazing. I have a couple of 170 class bucks and this guy was way bigger. Well I never had an ethical shot at him but as he was going out of sight all I could see was his ivory white rack slowly blending back into the forest. For now he hangs on my memory wall.
