That was my thought as well. I have no idea what constitutes a "200 inch" white tail. But dropping the hammer on that buck falls in the realm of "No Brainer". Congrats !

Awesome buck for sure, just wondering how did both of you kill it? Maybe I'm missing something. Congrats on a fine buck anyway.

Nice. Did he have cheese on his head?  Just out of curiosity any idea what he weighed? Not that it matters with head gear like that

Nice! I'd say there was a bit of trash there.

My brother in law took the shot at 9:00 am and then went and looked up on the ridge where the deer was, but couldn't see any blood, etc. All he saw was a deer with a big body and did not see antlers, but knew by the size he was a buck. We had both doe and buck tags, so he could shoot either. After looking a good hour, he gave up. I asked him if I could come up and help, but he said no. We went down to the house, which is just a few hundred yards away and had some lunch. He was helping out his mother with her new Ipad and so I decided I couldn't get a deer sitting down at the farm and I just had a hunch about looking for the deer he shot at. Long story short, after a thorough search, I found him about 20 yards from where he took the shot. We still aren't sure if the deer bedded down for awhile and then returned to die at the top of the ridge.....so in a sense my brother in law shot it, but I found it. We decided we would share it. He almost went home that afternoon. I'm glad he didn't because I fooled him when I found it and had him bring the 4 wheeler up to help me haul it down to the farm. He was texting me with all kinds of questions, but I just told him it was a small buck...haha...the look on his face when he saw it was priceless!! I just thank God that I did a careful search of the area. Also, at the local locker, the deer weighed 190 pounds hanging weight. We wish we would have taken the jaw and sent it in to determine age. The deer was probably at least 3.5, or 4.5. Thanks again for your comments and congrats!
