Ralph Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Well how was your open day? My families first weekend was typical as most years. The kids both shoot spikes. The strange part was a nice buck my brother who was visiting killed. We hunt in Newton County near the Burkville area. This buck was a nine point 16-17 wide but was a monster in body size. He was almost what you would say he was freaky. I truly wish we would have had time to find a certified scale somewhere. My 30 years of hunting tells me this buck weighed 230 to 240 not field dressed. My dad killed a big one in north Louisiana in 1962 when I was a kid that weighed 226. I believe this one was bigger. His body shoulder to rear end covered a full size pickup tailgate and his massive neck and head hung off. Anyhow just wondering if any one else has seen any extra huge bodied deer?
