Thanks guys, it certainly was one of the highlights of my hunting career for sure. I’m sure I was in a state of shock for at least 3hrs.
Here’s a couple more pics.

I enjoyed reading the story as much as I enjoyed looking at the pictures.
And I really enjoyed the pictures.
Congratulations.
And thanks for posting about it.

Does this outfitter make my mass look big?

Crazy. How does an old buck like that taste compared to a younger one, and compared to a doe? I'd be curious to know.

That's the type of deer that score is really irrelevant, and I realize he might still have a huge tape.
The mass on those bases and beams, just unreal.
What a stud.
Congrats!

With the mass and matching eye guards I don’t think there was a buck that would give him a run for the money!

Congrats again Kurt. I am glad that your patience paid off😀

Great read but an even better pic of a true buck of a lifetime. You earned that one.

Pretty awesome that those years of encounters end up with the trophy.
It’ll keep the memories fresh

If I would have shot him when I first told you about him he wouldn’t have been able to spread so many genes, but he would of had 20-40 more inches.

I'd rather have what you have today, then a score sheet.
That is the deer of a lifetime.
I'd rather shoot a deer like that then the Hansen buck, honest to God.

That is a fantastic buck Kurt, congrats on taking him after the long wait. The pic with the 132" rack for comparison is awesome, just a great brute. Amazing mass on it.

Nice buck. Yikes! If you only saw antlers (and no rear-end/rump) it would be difficult to determine whitetail or muley on that one.

Here is the picture of the buck on the top from the day I shot it.
Here‘s the one on the bottom, the G2 is 4-1/8” around!

I think this deer should have earned kurt505 a "get out of jail free card".
