Deer of a Lifetime


11 point - although, if you count the kickers, up to a 16 point - white tail buck.

Its the buck of a hunter's lifetime.
Johnny says after hunting now for 20 years, its the ultimate deer. He almost can't believe it.
And I'm so proud and happy for him too. LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! Not the deer's... Johnny's . Never seen him smiling brighter!

We took around 100 pictures of it... because we took it to the taxidermy Sunday and we won't see it again until AUGUST!!!This is the skull of the white tail Johnny killed earlier this season compared to the giant from this weekend.... that he refers to as B.F.D - Big Freakin Deer. I don't think that's a really good name for a deer, but when I kill a monster buck, I guess I'll get to choose the name.

We didn't weigh it, but it totaly messed up Johnny's back when he got all excited and decided to lift it up onto the bed of the pickup without any help.... I say around 275 pounds. We have meat literally falling out of our freezer, but he's made some really good summer sausage!!
