200 Lb plus mature buck while tracking. Rack not too important but both horns on his head anyway. I like me some good bed hunting but tracking gets me going!

World record typical. Sounds crazy but I passed one several times a few years ago that I believe would have beat the record the next year but never seen him again.

Years back I seen a perfect typical 7x7 from the road on a property my buddy could hunt in Illinois. He never seen the deer. I tried to be conservative with its score and I kept coming up with what I thought would be around 210. Was unbelievable.

They come around about once in a life time. My once is gone lol. It's pretty cool to be able to witness though!! I would have regrets if I would have shot him but have none that I passed him. Absolute baby giant! This one was a 7x7 also, I think I'd have to go back and look at pics.

With virtually no shot a booner in this part of the world, a big tall heavy 140ish perfectly symmetrical 8 is mine. Mass and palmation really get me going. As a critique of the scoring systems, the dumbest is the air between, wide doesn't do it for me. Bucks should get credit for what they grow not air. NTs aren't really my jam either I like the symmetry of big typicals. But I sure as ain't passing them up!

Yeah they don’t come around too often that size. What sucks is I usually kept a video camera in my car and didn’t have it with me that night. He was in a bachelor group of 5 and the buck next to him was a 170 typical and almost looked spindly cause the 7x7 carried so much mass

Years ago I seen this buck in a butcher shop when I was dropping my deer off. I’m sure it didn’t score great but it was the most memorable deer I’ve ever seen. This thing had a gigantic head and big heavy main beams about the size of my wrist all the way out to the ends that just looked like clubs. I didn’t measure or anything but the rack was 2 ft wide minimum. The times weren’t extremely long or anything but that deer was just massive. I’d love to find one like that to go after. I don’t care if I kill it. Just the thrill of going after one like that would be great.

Not to turn this into a moment, but...

Honestly - now that I'm a few weeks away from 53 and the most stressful year of my life - I wish for harmony more than anything, when I stare at the stars...

God Bless and a better 2020 for all! :pray:

My dream buck would be more "how and where" than "what" I kill. My dream buck would best be described as a northcentral PA mature non-typical deep big woods buck that has not been seen by another human, taken with a traditional bow within 20 yds from the ground while set up in natural cover.
