My dad killed a non-typical this past season in Jefferson county that sported 4.25 bases. He will be in the Fl. buck registry this year. It took him 30+ years of hunting to kill one like that though....
The problem we have in FL. is that we dont let the deer get any age on them (i'mguilty too).
Bryant, in 1996 I saw an 8pt w/ 5" bases hanging at the check station at Aucilla WMA in Jefferson county. A hunter from Perryon crutches with one leg killed it. I askedhim how in the world did he manage that.......He said I just got this Rem .270 for christmasand I sit in the back ofmy Toyota PU on a Lawn Recliner while my partner drives slowly so I can scout for crossingtracks on the side of the roads. When I see good heavy fresh tracks, I tell my buddy to pull up about 50ydsoff the side of the road and park.If the hunting pressure is low, 9 chances out of 10, they will cross there again...You know the rest of the story!
I know exactly who you are talking about!
he killed 7 bucks one year like that in Aucilla WMA.I think he had to get his leg amputated because of cancer, which meant he couldnt climb a stand, so he figured out a way to hunt anyway. I remember him killingseveral bucks while i was down there, and he never left the truck..
Pretty dang smart for a ol' taylor county redneck to figure that out how to kill good bucks from a truck bed-
