I saw a buck of some sort about that size close to the road about three miles west of St. Jo once on a foggy morning just at sun up. It was just in the digital camera age before camera phones could take a reasonable picture. I scared him when I crossed the rumble strips an eighth mile before I got to him but he stayed outside the fence on the road side in the ditch long enough for me to flank him and take a picture. The camera beep spooked him again and he jumped the wire fence. Stopped and stared 10 seconds then disappeared into the thick brush.

I gotta find that pic.

Nice rack!

I wonder if the guy in this picture got him.

(And hopefully he stayed out of the high grass.)

I'd probably wracked my truck if I seen that as well. Pun intended :lol:

I saw a big mulie buck's antlers sticking up like that one day, while driving to my gun club. At first I thought it was a small dead tree or bush with no leaves, then I realized it was a giant rack of antlers!

Just one of those quick "what the hell is THAT" glimpses you see at 65mph.....
