My Buck of a lifetime scored 191 5/8 typical.

Marc,

My initial comment was pretty rough, so for that I am actually sorry.

Like many others I just don't agree with this style of hunting for whitetails and I think you understand the other side of the story. I think emphasis is placed only upon the antlers, leaving the story, the adventure, and simply the "hunt" irrelevant.

When I look up at my mount I feel proud. Every single time I see it I remember the many years of hard work it took to get myself to that point in my "hunting career". It took me seven years to shoot that buck. Seven F-in years and I appreciate and remember every single day out hunting that it took me to get there. Years of trial and complete error, learning from my mistakes and learning how the deer use my woodlot. I actually feel something funny inside of me when I look at that deer knowing I achieved a goal the honest way, the hard way.

Anything worth doing is never easy, and although you're going to have a buck of a lifetime hanging up on the wall, it will only be worth what you paid for it. I truly wish you would have been able to hunt for a buck like that in BR, although I'm sure there is one that size that drinks from the Mississagi downstream from Cameco.

I was bear hunting in Blind River this August, why not play the cards you're dealt and go for a bear of a lifetime? $6000USD can buy you a lot of molasses.

Wow, that is an amazing buck, incredible mass, Getting a shoulder mount done? going to have to put a few extra studs behind the wall to hold him!

Thanks for sharing Marc! Enjoy watching your enthusiasm and quality of your videos! Well done and keep up the great work!

I commend you on a fine shot, but unfortunately not much else. I personally cannot agree with this type of hunting. I find it border line unethical, and the goal is a trophy to hang on the wall. As much as I would love to have a `hanger` I will never do this style of hunt for the sole purpose of getting one.

Thanks for sharing, not trying to be one of the `negative ones`, but farmed hunts will bring a multitude of opinions.

Edit: please tell me you brought all the meat back to eat.

In a couple years I'd like to hear from you as to what You think of it after You've looked at it a while. I'd bet Your point of view will change some

Wow that's an amazing harvest. Good Job! Some of those ranches in the states produce some giant deer.

They do indeed but not naturally. I am not bashing the op as he seems like a good guy and I have recently watched some of his videos and he definitely has a passion for the outdoors but the fence thing is just not my thing. Check out some of the research done by Valerius Giest from the university of Calgary, he is one of the worlds foremost authorities on wild ungulates specifically whitetail deer.

Those wicked crazy 30 point nontypical bucks most likely had #9 shot blasted into the antlers in the early growing stage while still in velvet, Giest tested and proved that theory and much like the stud bull these ranch deer are fed a multitude of items that no wild deer would ever have available to them nor are all healthy. About the only natural thing about these deer are the fact they are allowed to grow old enough so the antlers can reach there full potential.
