Holy! What a beast.....age? Was there much change in him since last year? I never seen him last year, I thought the wolves got him but two years ago he was a giant. I guessed him in the 220-240 range two years ago, he was on his way down this year, I’d age him around 8-1/2 this year. Two years ago he was with another buck in the 160’s, I think that might be the deer we seen 2 miles south of where I got this guy. i did see one of his offspring or his mother’s offspring this year, had the exact same frame only about 4yrs younger. I can’t wait to see him in two more years.

Good grief, what a toad! Love that buck. Heavy, and he's got "Lobster Claws" out at the end too... just too cool.

Massive ain’t enough to describe that bad boy...😎 I’ve shot a few big ones in the 160’s, a couple huge ones that grossed in the 170’s, but this guy I would have to say is colossal. Even the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s score won’t reflect its size, even though it grosses right around the 200” mark. It’s left G2 and right G3 both measure over 4” in circumference, it’s H measurements average over 6” and stay thick right out to the end of the beams, with 3 points at the end of each beam, and it has matching eye guards like an elk. I’m sure there wasn’t a deer around that would want to mess with him. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/S2KhVJ9.jpg)

Congrats! +1 The Canada Dry can made me really realize how thick those antlers are at the base! Good job on the photography too, man! As far as antlers go, those are full of character and I'd prefer them over damn near everything, regardless of score! John

Agreed! One of the most incredible whitetails I've ever seen. Love those front daggers below the brow tines. Simply sensational and to think that he was actually bigger in years past--220-240"---Unreal!

RBO….what did "YOUR HUNTER" get??….just curious
I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.

An 8 point with a 9” drop tine. It grossed in the 170’s, he was happy. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nzglftd.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/DS8hDdO.png)

An amazing deer.
And amazing to think a buck making it through 8 winters in Northern Alberta, wolves, hunters, etc.
