[QUOTE="Deadduck1971, post: 1918465, member: 111703"] In the early 2000's, one of my farm workers and I saw a huge buck in velvet in one of our rice fields. I swear he looked like a moose. That fall I hunted him in a tract of woods that bordered the field. He had a distinctive track that was very large. He moved mostly at night, but one morning I was bowhunting a trail and saw him coming through the woods. He was a monster, but never got closer than 100 yards or so. Never laid eyes on him again but saw his tracks frequently. After the season was over, I stopped seeing his tracks. I later learned that a big buck was illegally killed on a neighboring property. The poachers were caught a few months later because they were bragging about it. The deer's antlers are mounted in the regional Wildlife and Fisheries office, though they have them on a full body mount of a much smaller deer. The buck had 17 points and a 21 inch inside spread. They don't know his weight because all they recovered was his skull plate and antlers, but I bet he'd have gone close to 300 lbs on the hoof. Sure was a shame for him to go down to outlaws. [/QUOTE]
