A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

I know a lot of you are familiar with the buck that I call "The Ribcage Buck." I actually named him that after some help from you guys here on the forum last summer!:D

Anyway, people keep asking me about him, wondering if i ever saw him again this past season or found his sheds or anything so i figured i would make a post about this awesome deer now that i know his story.

It turns out that the ribcage buck was actually killed by a buddy of mine. He hunts a property that is actually about 2 miles from where i watched the buck all summer and on the morning of November 7th he met his match. My buddy Nate said that it was a crazy morning. Bucks chasing does everywhere before it even got light out. Fortunately it was light enough when this awesome buck stepped out and gave him a shot.

I just now got pictures from him so thats why i am making this post now. The awesome buck scored 173" and some change and although many of us thought that he may have been only 3.5-4.5, Nate said that he is almost positive that he had seen the deer the year before and that he was bigger. I guess we will never know for sure, but what a truely impressive animal!

What an incredible buck. Too bad you didn't get a crack at him Mike, but at least you know who got him. Your buddy must be extremely pleased with that buck. That is an extraordinary animal.

Hey, i said that i got some help from you guys on the forum! What more do you want from me!!! :D

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

I never get tired of looking at pics of that buck. Great story, sounds like a deserving hunter.

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

When you say 2 miles..... 2 miles of driving distance via the roads or 2 miles as the crow flies?

Congrats to the hunter....

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Good question.

He was/is indeed a great buck and like someone says, closure and your not left wondering. Also, if he had to fall, at least it was to a bow and you know the guy and got pics.

That's an awesome buck........unique face too. He'd be hard to confuse with other deer even without headgear if you got a good look at him with those white splotches down his nose.

Man that's gotta be a super mount. [:-]

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Cool story and an incredible buck. I actually do remember your post asking to help name him last season. Thats going to make one spectacular mount.

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Awesome buck, its a shame you didn't get him.

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

About 2 miles as a crow flies

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Hey everyone. GMMAT was the person who gave that buck his name. How's that Jeff?;):D:D:D

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

But.....Michael named him "dead".....which I suppose trumps "ribcage".

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Great buck, he looks like Porky(And Jeff named him also)

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Wow what a buck... I've been wondering what ever happened to Ribcage.. Now I know. Congrats to the hunter!

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

WOW.

RE: A Tribute to "The Ribcage Buck"
 

Those are some good pics Nate took. That deer is incredible and I wish we could have taken him but at least we know where he is now and not left wondering. I am wondering where he hit the deer...
