A thirteenth deer has been added to the Muskoka Outdoors ‘Most Wanted’ list  photo contest. This Barrie, Ontario buck lost his throne to the winds of fate.

This photo is a submission from, Chris, in Barrie, Ontario. The story surrounding this buck is very interesting. By ‘all rights’ it should have been harvested by another hunter.  Chris, had this to say about his bruiser,

“My brother had told me about a large buck he had seen while hunting – which he thought was a 10 pointer. Unfortunately, for my brother, he had seen the deer twice at close quarters but was unable to take a shot as the buck never gave him that opportunity.

Fortunately for me, 10 minutes after sitting down in my tree stand for the first time out this season, I took the biggest buck of my life with 12 points. This is my first buck with a bow and unofficially scored 143 1/4.”

This Barrie buck scored (unofficially) 143 1/4

Nice work, Chris! Thanks very much for sharing this photo with me.
