Told a couple of coworkers I was gonna hold out for him........they called BS on that. Shot him middle of gun season couple weeks later, morning TC Hawken Silver Elite .50 cal 200# dressed. Drug up hill, and loaded into my K5 by myself. After a gall bladder attack. Damn near killed me. Lot less work/excitement blasting smaller deer. 177 and change gross, 166 3/8" net. Shot about 15 yrs ago. Taxi said 5 1/2" yrs old??? Wasn't the best table fare either. [img:center][/img] Last edited by hookeye; 12/12/16.

Wanted him in gun (just around the corner). Other guy hunting the property shot it opening day.....had it scored= 145". That's when I started paying attention.

Best thing about it I took him with my dad's Marlin. He'd have been thrilled. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered.

(sans guts) I shot him around the St. Martin area in Manitoba. The deer was actually pretty short in length or he'd have really tipped the scales. And, believe it or not, I shot an even heavier deer the week prior in Ontario. Both were killed in late October, early November so they were obviously at peak weight. I can hunt five more lifetimes and never come close to shooting a heavier deer, let alone two in a week's time. The Ontario deer: WWP53D

No offense but I think your buddy had his thumbs on the scale (figuratively) on his quick score because this guy is not 138 and he has length and mass Deed tend to shrink up when the tape hits the horn Maker of the Frankenstud Sling Keeper
