RE: 275+ lb 14-Pnt buck in denims and T-shirt!
Ok! Here is the scoop straight from the horse' s mouth.
Left work and went to area under conditions as previously said. Got to area and threw on camo coat that he was wearing on the job (job calls for camo at times).
Got in stand. Observed that many deer were running all around the area, and the big boys were chasing the does. Was watching deer when he happen to look down and there was the buck standing below his stand. He was going to pass on the buck because it was not the buck with the rack he wanted. In stand time was 30 min to the max.
The buck he shot is an 8-pnt with " kickers" and has 16 scoreable points. Estimated live weight is 335 lbs. The buck he wanted is slightly smaller in body but has a large rack with 16" G2' s and almost the same G3' s.
Other buck was 175 field -dressed.
Shooter advised that area he hunts is hunted only by two hunters and has been managed for several years with a " no buck" policy unless necessary to cull for genetic reasons.
I will have the pictures of the harvested buck tomorrow.
