I have been teaching a young man about hunting and shooting rifles. He had never shot rifles, so we started with rifle practice. I have also been explaining about hunting, and taken him out to scout. This weekend was the start of rifle season. I set him up on some heavily traveled trails at a cross wind. I set up off 300 yrds and up wind of the trails so I could call and rattle the bucks up for him. The first morning, we saw nothing. That evening, we set up, and just before dark I rattled up a hug buck. He shoots, the deer drops and we go get it. After field dressing this whitetail we weighed it. It weighed 180lb field dressed and scored 180 B and C. I told him we was ruined from this point on. It will take him a while before he tops his first deer.
I forgot to add, this was 180 b and c on a typical rack. A very symmetrical 8 point. It was a beauty.

180" 8pt.... the highest scoring 8pt ever recorded scored like 182", maybe you should get this officially scored and see if he can take the throne! Get some pics too

That is awsome!! My first buck I got mounted, nothing like his but it was a 19 inch 9 pointer, about 135 BC. I thought at first that I would never top that but I did and when I did it made it all that more special. Congrats to you both, post the pictures!!

To be honest, I was a little envious. I have not shot a deer yet with as nice of a rack, but have taken a few as big of bodied (and I have been hunting for over 25 years). We took pictures with a desposible camera, so if the pictures come out, ill try to scan them.

I have been teaching a young man about hunting and shooting rifles.
What I know I had to learn on my own.
But it sounds like a really good Buck.
To bad hes not in the Deer Contest.
Tell him congratulations from jrbsr
