I tried to get this buck pushed out to my daughter, but he decided to sneak out to my brother instead. His best buck in 46 years of hunting.

That’s a dandy buck for sure. Congratulations

Congrats to your brother, Doc!

Beautiful 8.

Good for him

Good deal.

Go Brother!

Nice and tall, good for him.

Thanks guys! My daughter disowned him as an uncle for a few minutes after the shot. LOL. She wanted this guy pretty bad after my buddy sent me a pic of him in his back field in August.

Congrats

sure is a tall rack!

Congrats to him.

Congrats, and a very nice buck

That is one heck of an 8! Congrats

Brother will be smiling big for a few days. Great buck!

thanks! yep he’s still smiling, daughter still thinks he should have scared it towards her! 😎

Great buck! Any idea on the weight?

Sako76,

Believe it or not, for his rack size, he wasn’t really a big bodied buck, in my opinion. He looks really great in the August picture, but I’d swear he ran alot of that “corn and soybean-life is good weight” off during the rut. I’ve probably shot 5 big doe, and at least 3 smaller racked bucks in my life that would have surely outweighed him. He must have been “all gut” on the hoof…like a beer belly, only soybeans and corn! 😎

Good job hunting with the family. Nice buck.

Thanks! After seeing the Sumac Buck revelation…I can assure everybody this is actually my ugly old brother, with the buck my daughter desperately wanted to get, that he shot on Saturday with his Rem. Model 7 .308 stainless that I sold him about 22 years ago, on the rack of my 2019 Can Am Defender HD8 XT. Whew…just sayin. 😎

That's a neat rack. Good for your brother!
