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!

great buck but whats up with his back legs in the trail cam pic they look flat footed and bowed

Nice buck. What'd he shoot him with? Is that an Ally?

Where abouts are you hunting in west central IL. I live in Jacksonville and hunt over by Winchester/Bluffs.

great looking buck congrats to your dad

CONGRATS TO YOUR dad!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BUCK IS A STUD!!!!!!!!!:barmy::barmy::barmy:

Im not sure, we thought the same thing when we got that picture. I think he was just not very photogenic, kinda looked like a fairy deer. I can assure you he bulked up since then. I picked up a scale and his field dressed wieght was 230 pounds and his neck measured 32 inches around. Live weight was pretty close to 300 pounds.

No he shot it with a 2007 bowtech tribute.

We hunt about 20 minutes south east of macomb.

Awesome buck, your dad was very lucky!!! Even though you didnt get it who else better then your dad...congrats!!!

Truely an awesome deer! Tell him congrats!

whats ugly about that buck? He gorgeous

Nice buck, congrats to your dad! It could be worse...a lucky neighbor, a poacher, or an automobile could have gotten him, so consider yourself fortunate that it was you dad that scored on him!

Super nice buck, congrats to your dad.

Just a nickname. I wouldnt say he is a pretty deer but deffinetly unique.
