stringpicker Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Got him on Thanksgiving morning in Grady County, GA (about 30 minutes north of the Florida line), at 8 AM, with a bow at 20 yards. He went 80 yards after the shot. Measuring wise he is an 11-pt. (He has 2 stickers off his base that don't meet the 1" minimum requirement.) Inside spread 17 6/8". Unofficial gross score is right at 130 3/8". He weighted 225 lbs. on the hoof. Aged him at 4.5 years old. First buck ever and first deer with a bow.:D:D When we processed him he had the top of his backbone broken(inside the body cavity was intact) and when we were cutting around it we found a bullet fragment.(Land owner's sis-n-law shot at a big last year and knock it down but it got back up and ran off and they never found it.) He also had also had a broken leg at one time because his leg had a big bulge were it had healed. I passed up going fishing on St. George island with my wife's family to go hunting...guess I made a good call. I already have the mount back, but don't have the pictures on the computer yet. I will send them when I upload them. James Wilkinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thats an interestion story, reminds me of one I read here on Realtree.com a few years ago about a man who arrowed a MONSTER bull elk and never found it. Killed a big elk the next year and while the elk was at the processors they cut into the mans broadhead from last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
