Congrats to the hunter.

As spawl continues to eat up property and leasing prices many hunters out of hunting, small, suburban properties hunted with bows only is "joe average hunters" last refuge, IMHO.

And as you can see from the photo, there are some good ones around......

I'll admit it, he's bigger than mine...Congrats

Wow... that truly is a monster. Congrats

crazy! big deer! love the part of the helicopter to find the one! awesome, bet that cost a bit.

Awesome deer! Wow! Congrats.

Nice Buck! I agree w/Dances with Deer on the camera push and the arm stretch crap to make it bigger than it really is! It takes away something from the photo and puts doubt into your mind if its really legit!

my congrats to you, well done and thank you for being the polite and professional hunter. its great to see people who respect someone elses property...

Awesome Buck Ronnie, Congratulations! Man what a rush, to be in the stand and have that beast walking in......chills I tell ya. Can't wait to see more pics! For the 2 jealous guys that commented on how to properly hold your trophy for the pic while you use a professional camera, what don't you understand about a 196/189 TYPICAL score? Doesn't the #'s alone say enough? Keep your negative comments to yourself.

Great buck Ron! To the guys that think he is stretching his arms out to make this deer bigger! I know Ron and he is a big guy. I also have seen the deer in person and this deer is as incredible as you will see. It is truly a world class animal. Congrats again Ron!

Wow... We try to pride ourselves in nice Whitetaiks in Northern WI but this is AMAZING! Makes me really want to get back into hunting just to have something like this walk by my stand! Congrats and I hope that he will be filling the freezer and making one hell of a beautiful mount!!!

Awesome Deer, just goes to show you what happens when you ask to go hunt!

AWESOME BUCK!! Urban Archery is what I LOVE. I'm part of a program this helping me gain access to urban and suburban properties like this. Backyard Bow Pro...google it....could be the best decision you make in your hunting career. JJAS is right.....as big farmland is leased, we'll have to turn to these smaller urban and suburban areas for quality, affordable hunting experiences.

What an awesome Buckeye Bruiser, great job fellow CBus hunter. To "Dances with Deer" and "mwmrtn" you are obviously jealous and spiteful. Look again, his left arm is bent almost 90 degrees even if his right arm is about straight (because the buck and rack are massive). He's sitting directly behind it, where else should he sit?. Great job Ronnie for spotting, knocking on doors getting permission and harvesting such a magnificent buck!

That buck reminds me of the biggest buck I ever saw in my life. I was bow hunting back in the late 80's and was hunting in northeast Montana where I grew up and a few miles from the Canadian border. I popped over a hill and saw 5 nice bachelor bucks and one great big huge buck. I was to far away to take a shot. The big buck was laying down and could hardly hold his head up from the size of his horns and the other 5 bucks watching guard for him. I wish I had a picture to show how big his rack was.I just sat there staring in amazement of the wide 5 point buck which I know I will never see one that wide in my life again.He was over 4 feet wide at his horns.Breath taking.

Like one other said I am also Ronnie's cousins great job cous cant wait to se the monster mounted. I can guarent he didnt use any smoke or mirrors. He's a big man im 6"2 and weigh 230pounds and he still bigger than me. But yet agin congrats cant wait to see it.

Wow! What a nice looking deer. That is a thick bodied deer. You should upload that pciture to www.bigbuckphotogallery.com

I agree with Joe. This was a neighborhood pet and was probably fed by some of the people living in the area. Not much "hunting" here.

That buck is amazing. I sure wish we had some that big in SD.
