RE: biggest deer taken??
10 years ago I was hunting over a draw through a vast clearcut. There was a small creek running in the bottom that had alot of honeysuckle & briar that were being absolutely destroyed by deer. I had found a few better-than- average rubs & set my stand up for an evening hunt. Right after the sun set & the colors of the day started fading to grey I saw 2 deer feeding up the draw. They were 2 doe & I was hoping big boy would be tailing them. About 5 minutes after these 2 came through a big bodied deer came running in - nose to the ground! But it was too dark for me to make out his rack. Remember, I was younger & was hunting in Central Alabama where no tag was required. Needless to say, I ground-checked him for meat & the hopes for a nice rack. It turned out to be a liveweight 185#doe... no lie. By far the biggest doe I've ever shot down here.
