Big Ugly is down
 

Well unfortunately I wasnt the one who harvested him but I am absolutley tickled that it was my dad who got him. I have probably 100 pictures of this deer. I first got him on camera back in early july and then he disapeared for about a month in a half from august until the beggining of october. He showed back up in early october and I just got a bunch of pictures of him monday night on a scrape. He rough scores 195" gross and estimated weight of 240 pounds. My dad was getting ready to shoot a really big 8 point when he heard something behind him and looked and saw this big guy. He had to think about it for oh about a split second and decided the 18 pointer was better than the 8 pointer. The shot was about 25 yards and the deer piled up with in 50 yards.

once in a lifetime buck, congrats to your pops!!!!

What a brute! Congrats to your dad! Did he get him in IL?

WHATA PIG omg nice job...over the fireplace?

Thanks, him and I both have killed some nice deer over the years on our farm in west central Illinois ,but that one is deffinetly by far the biggest.

What a bruiser, congrats to your Dad!!

Nice buck. Congrats to your dad.

Wow i am surprised you did not do some photo shop work to make it you. Just joken. That thing is a monster for sure. I would be happy with his son for god sakes

Congrats to your dad! That is surely a once in a lifetime trophy! What a pig of a deer. Even though he did not fall to your arrow at least the next best thing happened!

Wow....What A great buck!! Congrats to your pops and you. It's great that you are able to share that experience together!
