So you have pics of him in your yard? I’d love to see them. I had it on good authority he came from 44 from private, was he in 45 on private though? Ps I don’t think 44 is the only place big daddy bucks are. Know of a 220 gross buck that was dropped in a 0 point unit last year and a 212 that went down last week in a single digit point unit. I do know there are some monsters that hang in the neighborhoods of Avon, Edward’s, eagle gypsum etc… buddy of mine lives in star ranch and is always sending me vids of the neighborhood baddies

Just got back from 44!

Heck of a fun hunt! I was unable to locate the absolute giants that 44 can produce but saw well over 100 4pt bucks in the scouting days and 4 days of hunting before i decided to take this buck. I was able to stalk and pass on several bucks that I would never pass on most hunts including a cool buck that double cheaters on each side. Had him less than 50 yards with my bow in hand. But it was the first day and decided to hold off.

had about 8-10” of snow on Tues before opening day and cold temps come Wed with clear sky’s (minus 6 when we parked the truck) which led to an unreal opening day. Saw bucks breeding does, a full on butt kicking the buck I shot put on that Cheater buck and all sorts of rutting action. A day I will never forget.

The temps then sky rocketed the following days and really slowed things down. On Saturday my fourth day out of the five day season i decided to find the best buck we could and pull out the gun.

Thanks to all those that helped and especially to my two great buddies who gave up their time to help me!

What a ride.

29 years for a week of laughs, views, and memories! Buy your kids points!!! I’m very thankful my dad started as soon as possible for me!!!

Missed my pops being there but he was my first call when we walked up to him!

Thanks again!

Cody

Sweet buck man, congratulations.
The rutting activity I witnessed in 4th season back there was pure insanity this year. That cold opening morning was a gift from the hunting gods in my opinion.

Congrats on a great buck. I do have a question for the moderators. Why in the hell is it ok to highlight some units by not hiding what specific unit it is but other high point units are completely off limits. Seems like the mods have a vested interest in some units over others. That's why they are willing to let some units slide.
