Default A shed find of a Life Time

To put this shed I found in perspective. My Family has been hunting NE MI for over 50 years, and no one has shot a buck bigger or seen one this big. It is truly a shed of a lifetime for me. I found three blinds for rifle setup within 100 yds of where I found it. If some of the N MI boys would chime in, I would bet they would want some GPS coordinates This was found in the Huron National Forest. I scored it at 62'' and some change.

This buck is 144-150'' woodland buck. This guy is old also, and if I can find the time I am going to hunt him. I have stand sites setup, a buck like this from Northen MI would be the best and proudest of any I have taken or take in the future.

It really fired me up, I will take more pictures, but my battery died. When I found it, my first words were:
"You've got to be kidding me." I watch my Granpa stare at it for about 5 mins on the counter, you could see the years lift from him, I ask him 'Have you seen one bigger?", He said "Nope". "Gramps would you shoot him, he's not good eating" He laughed, LOL
