Sothern Ohio Brute

i had the good fortune of driving up behind this guy on my way to church on Sunday. Check out the picture. The guy in it did not shoot this deer. I followed the guy to a rural stoplight and got out and asked if I could take a look. I actually held the antlers in my hands. Its is and incrdible deer. I didn't have time to ask him all the details as we started to hold up traffic. The pic doesn't do the deer justice BTW. killed 10/18/2009

Let me clarify. The guy in the pic is not the hunter. I talked with the guy that killed it. They had the deer tagged and were heading home (I guess) when I stopped them. The driver and the guy that killed it got out and talked with us.

The mass on this deer is unreal. The pictures don't do this thing any justice. It is truly an exceptional deer.

No idea why the hunter didn't pose with it. Or why this guy's picture made it to the internet and his did not. I'd think he took some pics with it. Who knows.

As for what county. I believe it was shot in Warren. I saw it at about 10 am. So it could have been killed a long way away. I'm hoping to hear too.

I have mixed feelings about him shooting it near me. One is I am concerned about hunting pressure increasing. The nice thing would be knowing that caliber of buck could be out there. Maybe people will hold out for a bigger one if they know bucks like this are around. They start doing that and it should let them live longer.

Thanks Jason. I'll have to check a county map for Ohio to see where Warren is. I'll be hunting Adams County on Halloween weekend and was curious as to how far/close this brute was to there.

Edit....just checked....you're close to Cincy from the looks of things.

Yea Ohio is the place! Now help me get the word out so the outfitter that is leasing my hunting spot next year goes there instead.

Would love to even see something like that in the wild! Well over 200 inches of bone there!

If I had shot it you better believe I wouldn't let someone else be driving around with it???? Something seems a bit odd.

No they guy that shot it was there. He was not driving though. I'm sure he hasn't had it out of his sight. I sure wouldn't. They guy in the picture I never saw. He may have been in the truck but I don't know. My guess is this is the guys son or som relation to the guy that shot it.

That is a 300 inch deer! WOW if its real! Im sorry but i question if this is legit just doesnt add up but if you held its antlers then the deer prob is a real deer but how it was taken idk?

I didn't study it to look and see if it was real or fake (not that I could tell) but the deer hadn't been dead long. And they were more than willing to let me look. As I said I stopped them at a red light to take a peek. I don't know how they would fake that.

I don't know what he'd score...I just know its pretty wild. He looked better in person IMO. My wife and kids were with me and all were in awe of it. Not sure if it will rival the Beaty buck (304+") But its the biggest I've ever touched. Makes my 153" buck look like a fawn. LOL
