You would have to look long and hard to find a more complete package than Troy! Husband,father,teacher.man of faith,hunter! An outstanding person! Something to aspire to for any one of us.
You just have got to feel good for any success that comes his way!
Yes Fran and Ryan it is rifle season out there,is that sick or what! In three weeks I will be out in country that is about 2 hours away from Troy hunting my a-- off with a rifle hoping to see a buck of that caliber,and Troy puts them on the ground practically every year in that big country with archery equipment.Simply Remarkable!

What a Monster!!! Way to go. Looks like that area didn't have area didn't have a whole lot of openings either. Great set-up and execution.

Troy,

Not only is he a brute, but what a beautiful rack! It is ideal, best in show. It's what you see on
the bags of food plot seed and mineral supplements. :D

We all know you put in some serious effort - year round scouting, putting in the hours on the stand,
passing "scrub bucks" a lot of us would take, fighting off trespassers, and made a fairly difficult shot
look easy. You also took him in his bedroom, his comfort zone, not with his head to the ground chasing a doe.

Job well done! Team 43 is on the board.

BTW, is that Stretch?

RE: CHECKMATE!
 

Yeah, i think he mentioned that in a follow up post. He found the sheds to this buck two years ago he said and got trail cam pics and photo'ed him this year

RE: CHECKMATE!
 

congrats great buck

RE: CHECKMATE!
 

Troy - that is awesom! Congrats bud!

RE: CHECKMATE!
 

Congrats on an awesome buck! A true monster!

RE: CHECKMATE!
 

Troy, with much respect congrats on a magnificent buck. As the others have said your hard work is an example of wait it takes to consistently take trophy whitetails and the fact that you do it with a bow is a testament to your woodsmanship and skills as bowhunter. To succeed as you did despite the adversity you have dealt with makes it that you much more remarkable.

When I read your posts it is with the intent of seeing what more I can do to be more successful. I'm truly happy for you and can't wait to hear the details of story and the tale of the tape.

Congrats again, it's good to see hard work pay off.
