Good weekend in the swamp

My son-in-law had a good Saturday morning! Pope&Young 12 pt buck and mini-hogzilla. Glad he wore his mask. Haha! Eye-candy critters for sure.

It is unusual to get a perfect shape and even number. There are a lot of 9’s and 11’s. It’s definitely a good looking trophy. I’ve been told our region was restocked with whitetails from Wisconsin back in the 50’s and 60’s. Calcium carbonate helps bulk up the racks, but genetics play a big role. Of course letting young bucks pass helps as well.
