16-Year-Old Boy Arrows 197-Inch Buck With Christmas Lights Wrapped Around Its Antlers
16-Year-Old Boy Arrows 197-Inch Buck With Christmas Lights Wrapped Around Its Antlers
So what do you want for Christmas? How about a 197-inch whitetail? That’s what 16-year-old Austin Brimeyer got—a little early, of course. On November 18th, he arrowed a behemoth of a buck at 14 paces, followed a heavy blood trail to the deer, and found the sort of headgear that’s on every archer’s wish-list--all wrapped up, no less, in Christmas lights.

Congrats. Heck of a buck. All of them are. Seems to be a great piece of land, but a good hunter too. The people at Mathews bows should sign him up.

Nice buck. Pretty Lucky young man.
Grat Buck your man. However don't cry if you never repeat scha treat. I'm 74 ys old, hunted th dee south for 74 ys, and thre betI've dne is a nice l0" with wide spead, wt was 20 lb, killed at l90 ys with B/P.I've waited a lifetime for such a deer and finally got one. Good hunting, keep trying, this old boy should have left some nice genes to be enjoyed by some luck hunter, maybe you. Where did you kill such a deer and who put the Christmas decorations on him?
You my friend have many more to come! Nice buck and keep up the good work.
wow great buck young man... all of us wish we could be you right now great buck great story on the bigest hunting website in the u.s.
Awesome collection of deer you're working on there. You keep up that property and continue to manage your herd, you're gonna continue to have massive deer like that! Congrats man!
Only trouble with shooting a deer like that at 16 is where do you go from there? Well you can relax from here on kid you don't have to shoot any young ones or small ones because you've shot one as big as they come!
Great deer Austin, best of luck with the upcoming years. You have made a lot of us old hunters envious.
