The weapon is even more interesting than the buck. First time I can recall seeing a customized 1898. Is it chambered in 30-40 Krag? Is it an accurate weapon?

If the bullet hole in that buck is any indication, I’d guess it hits where he points it. ?

Yes sir that was a gun my late father built in the late 60’s and is in fact a 30/40 krag ! The trajectory of the old krag is a lot like a rainbow lol , the shot was just a hair over 175 yards, ironically having been around this gun my entire life this was the first animal I’ve ever taken with it & my best to date , this was my dads go to gun for years!

Beautiful build. Your father was clearly an artistic craftsman.

And you shoot rainbows very accurately. Nice buck too. Congrats on carrying on the family tradition.

The other side of the krag just for grins , and the buck scored 178 6/8 with 15 Scoreable points

 

[Joe2Kool]

Kool buck and kool gun! Congrats.

 

[johnnycake]

I can't tell you how many times I drilled this buck with my nerf gun as a kid

Waiting for this one

Got my biggest ever whitetail this morning. Also biggest we have ever taken on our little ranch. Had not seen this one on camera. Had been away from ranch for about 10 days and when I checked camera he had been showing up for about a week. Good Lord smiled on me this morning and he showed up! Gross score 151 and change!

Nah, Indiana has horrible deer hunting, there are much better states like Ohio or Michigan.

Some old old pics of my very first buck. 1983 on the family farm, 3rd day of season before school. I knew it was a special deer and took it back out with a friend to try and get a better field photo after school. Still have not taken a whitetail nearly as good. People came out from town to see it and told me I’d never get a better one. They were probably right. I have 2 sets of his sheds from the 2 years prior to getting him.

How high was the buck fever? I had a chance at a 150 class whitetail when I was 12 and the fever was burning hot. Emptied the rifle at close range and only one shot hit him in the hock. Thankfully when I was done blasting, dad was more calm. Can not imagine how bad I would have blown it on a buck like yours.

Happened pretty fast and it was a pretty close shot so thankfully didn’t miss. I do remember buck fever for probably hours afterwards though.

 

[Bubba77]

New biggest. Colorado 9pt. Over 160 as mainframe 8

 

[jm77]

Biggest non-typical & typical

 

[LifebytheHorns]

Some hogs on here!!!! Wow!

This is my best to date. Killed him at 25 yds on the ground sport and stalk (Hope to post the video soon) Grossed right at 170" and the biggest I have seen while hunting. Never thought I'd kill one of this caliber, but I am hoping to do so again someday!

 

[Hunter53]

Guess I will add one more even though it isn’t my biggest. It is/would be my second biggest but he is obviously busted up a bunch. Broke up he was right at 160. If everything was same as unbroken side it would be a hair over 178.

 

[OldMxBowhunter]

My best whitetail with a bow to date. 183

 

[HNTNFSH]

My 1st and only whitetail

 

[Betterluckythangood]

Late to this party but here you go. I made five trips to Montana hunting it for the first time. It had been stormy and cloudy for two days and when the fog lifted, this guy was bedded in eighteen inch tall sagebrush with a doe. After spooking him and a half mile of tracking, I got lucky.
