A Very Respectable RI Whitetail Buck Taken

Post by Pete44ru »

A bowhunting friend (Robb Kettlebottom) took this 300lb (live weight), 13-pt buck , here in RI (our bowhunting season runs from Sept to Feb), which field-dressed out @ just under 260lbs.

This deer is fully the equal of large Maine/Michigan whitetails.

WOW! Nice buck! It would take about three good Blacktail Deer like we have around here to make that kind of weight. :shock:

Nice buck!

They are around up here but don't come easy.
My dad has our best at 235.
Next is mine at 215.
I haven't broke 200lbs in 10 years. :(
