My wife has a nickname for my hunting buddy Dean. It's "Lucky".
Dean has killed 3 bucks scoring over 180" and several 150"-160"s. Last year "Lucky" killed a 168" twelve pointer with his bow and a 177" twelve pointer with a gun.
This year we had seen a buck 4-5 times before season that we named "Droopy Beam". His right beam turns down at the end. We had seen him him a field I hunted on October 1st. He was one of the reasons I passed a 145" eight pointer that night. We never saw him again till last week.
Dean and another buddy, Ralph, saw him 5 out of 6 night in our foodplot. They played cat and mouse with him for over a week. Ralph had him at 48 yards but no closer. One evening Dean had him at 30 yards but it was too dark to see his pins.
Finally this morning he made a mistake and followed a doe to Deans setup. He has an 11" tine coming off the back of his base. He ended up scoring 179 4/8"!
Here's pics of the 3 bucks he has killed.
