jbrodie7,


I LIVE and HUNT the same area you are talking about. I live just south of Galesburg and work there in town. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????? Dude, I have NEVER in my life heard of ANYONE shooting a deer that weighed that much in our area!!!! As a matter of fact that is nearly the largest animal EVER taken in the state!!! That buck dressed 320 # and was taken by Bob Estes in '88. The largest buck I ever recall being taken in the Galesburg area was a 287# that was checked in at Griswold's Archery over 10 years ago, that buck was taken near Avon. I think your friends "scales" may be a little off. Realize that we indeed have HUGE bodied bucks in our area but NOT that big. I actually pride myself in following the scoop on local bucks and where, who, how, and when they were taken and I've neevr heard of the like. What checkstation of ours was he checked in at, Farm King, AL's, Griswold's ????? You certainly have my undivided attention.
