I am surprised it has taken so long for this one to get out.
Dang the luck too it was kilt less than 2 miles from a property I hunt.
Jbrown,
Most deer in Ohio are kilt over a corn pile.:smiley_crocodile:

Look, it's an awesome deer and I'm really happy for the guy... It's a deer of a lifetime without a doubt. Killing a big deer 'on the way' to the food and shooting deer in food plots may be similar... I have no problem with that... But shooting them while their nose is in the pile is not the same thing, IMO. From the story on OGF, this is how I interpreted the hunt. To each their own.... It's just not for me. I know a guy who has a wall of big bucks, and acts like he's the Great White Hunter... Yet damn near every deer on that wall was killed with it's nose in a bait pile. There's no skill in that. Put him in an unfamiliar woods without the option of baiting and he wouldn't have a clue how to kill a deer. I'm not saying the guy that shot this giant is like that, but that's a big reason I'm not a fan of that style of hunting. I'm sorry if I come off as an elitist 'holier than thou' jerk with this response, but I assure you that's not my intent. I've shot does over a pile of corn and had no problem with it... I was there to shoot 'em not hunt 'em... to put meat in the freezer. Shooting a monster buck on top of a bait pile just takes away some of the majesty in it don't you think?
I agree... much more satisfaction intercepting the deer. I was more or less asking how it went down for sure.
Dead deer is a dead deer IMHO. I wouldn't feel one bit less shooting it eating corn. Legal and no fences I am gtg.

Yep, me too. I'll take a 150 off a baitpile in a heartbeat, it just does'nt happen very often.
Good point! I've had 3 cams running over corn piles since July. I've gotten less than 10 pics of two different shooters. The piles don't guarantee success.
I respect your style JB.... I just see it that EVERYTHING is in their favor except for their stomach and the desire to breed. Bucks are EXTREMELY on Alert when approaching a bait pile especially an educated one. It's not as easy as it sounds.
