Near a small town called Bagdad believe it or not.

Just saw this, congratulations! Muzzleloader season is short too.

I used to live 15min from that town, and I never saw anything like that, wowza! Big difference from Kentucky in the 90’s.

Congrats. That's approximately 3x the size of the largest buck I've ever seen in my neck of the woods (NJ)

The biggest buck I ever killed before this one was a 15 inch 9 point. I never see deer like this.

Congrats on your outstanding buck, it's incredible! I really hope to see this animal featured next year in the Kentucky Afield magazine and read your story. Some of the biggest bucks of 2024 were premiered in the lastest edition.

Do not let my poor humor take away from your amazing deer, but part of me was hoping it was shot with a .243! LOL
Oh how that would have caused a few strokes. LOL

Now, wouldn’t wish that on him but I’m all for stirring @Bob Nelson 35Whelen about the .243

A mate confirmed that 2 Sambar were taken with a .243 recently and that didn’t change his views.

In a thread on the .358win Bob has chimed in about its virtues. It sounds like there is something magical or mythical about .35 calibres.

Obviously muzzle loaders are effective too.

OUTSTANDING! Must be close to the State record. Truly a buck of a lifetime.

Congratulations

Do we know if it is a state muzzle loader record??

It’s probably close.
