Spent quite a bit of time looking for a giant for a friend that drew the statewide raffle deer tag here in CO this year. Found a hammer in October but my friend and I thought we might wait to see what the late season provided. Here is the big deer we elected to pass..

Here are two 200" deer in the same picture...

Here is a picture of the big deer up close. He is at least a 14x13 with gobs of mass, inlines, cheaters, droptines, many brownies and character for days...

Video from the first moment I found him...


I had just gotten done hunting with a friend when we found that buck. In fact, this buck was in the back of the truck when I first found the above deer in the pictures...

A few days later a friend of mine called me and had found a buck in a unit I had a tag for and as luck would have it the deer was on a piece of property owned by a good friend of mine and he helped me gain access. I still need to take a "gift" to the landowner for graciously allowing me to hunt his property. I was shooting a muzzleloader and my powder got moisture in it and I missed him at 50 yards. Went back 2 days later and shot him at 20 yards.

Here he is alive..

And here he is with my friend Kelby that found him...
