Unique Deer

If you have been following deer hunting over the years or are a hunter who is passionate about deer hunting. You will know about unique deer such as the Hole in the Horn buck , the Louisiana Freak, the Missouri Monarch, or Milo Hanson's typical world record. Just to name a few. Or talk to hunters and see what kind of bucks they dream of taking. Most will tell you they dream of taking drop tine bucks or something different that many other hunters never get a chance to see. These are the reasons we love to see big unique deer on our magazine covers.
I am no different. I would love to harvest a big buck that most hunters have not had a chance to ever see. I used to think that this may just be a dream that might never happen. But then as I think back on my hunts from the past I remember 3 different opportunities where I got chances to see very unique deer that most hunters only dream about. One was a massive drop tine buck. He is safe because he lives in an area where hunting isn't allowed. Another I had a solid black doe walk in front of my stand.At first I thought I was seeing a black dog. By the time I knew it was a deer it was to late to get a shot. And finally I was scouting public land in the summer one year and got a chance to see what I thought was an albino 8 point buck. As I got closer I saw he had brown under his antlers, black eyes and hooves. That is when I realized I was seeing a piebald instead of an albino.
I also know that I have been blessed to have been allowed to see such amazing and different deer that my God has created. If you ever get this kind of opportunity take time to reflect on God's awesomeness.
