ORIGINAL: bluebird2
This deer was taken on water authority land open to the public for hunting. I hunted this area as a kid and the guy who took it hunted the area for 49 years. All the guys who hunt this areasay this is by far the biggest buck taken outof there. I firmly believe antler restrictions along with responsible hunters allowed this deer to grow to the141-4/8 monster that he is.
Are you saying that buck wasn't AR legal as a 2.5 buck?
I don't know, I never personally got to meet this deer as a 2.5 year old.
