Great story. I'm lucky enough to have shot one that weighed just over 200 lbs. dressed a few years ago. It was ike a moose compared to anything else I've ever shot.
Tough to get in the back of a pickup without help.
Shot a buck in PA that was probably 180 field dressed. Wow, 274 pounds that is one huge deer!
EG's get the work done! What a pig of a deer.
I wouldn't want to drag that out of the woods on bare ground. I'd need a bed mounted winch to get in the truck!

I didn't get to go up to the farm in WV this year because of my wife's surgery. There were 4 guys in my cousins trailer. Three of the four got deer, and the fourth had a 4 pointer sneak up on him, and didn't get a shot. The four deer were a 3 pointer that weigh 74 pounds, an 8 pointer at 95 and a 6 pointer at 105. Add those up, 274 pounds! That's a whopper of a deer, Joe.
We are getting tracking snow right now. Heading Down East Maine looking to track. I would like to see the track of this one in the snow.
210 is my biggest. Sure glad it was not more. Helluva drag! Beautiful animal!!!
They don't make them like that around here.
I harvested a Maine monster in 1974, hunting the Lake Umcolcus area. The buck carried a massive 11 point palmated rack and field dressed 254#. I killed the buck 17 miles off the paved road and was able to get my 4 wheel drive within 3 miles. It took 1 1/2 days to get him out of the woods with two of us manning a deer cart. My most memorable hunt in 53 years of deer hunting.
we do get some bruzer's here every year I've heard of at least a half dozen this year that were up in the 250 range..
for me this guy is my best (so far) he dressed out 207 and it's a young deer. I got him on a corn field at 380yds
