For the past four years, Tim Phillips has been searching for a massive buck in the Saint Paul area of Missouri.
The deer had been seen by several people over the years, but no one had been able to set it in their sights.
“I knew he was out there, but had to wait for the right time,” Phillips told KSDK.
On the last day of the season, Phillips shot the 39-point buck, which was estimated to be about 8-years-old.
Phillips tells KSDK that he is donating the meat to Share the Harvest, a program that feeds those in need.
Eight year old deer.
Yum...
Good Lord! What’s the B&C rating on that beast?
I shot a mule deer doe in Western, Kansas. She was fairly large. My hunting partner and I divided the meat and the work.
It had an unusually good flavor, in fact tasted just about like beef. We did let his wife cook it all as she knew how to tenderize the meat. I tried grilling a loin. It tasted good but was tough. After that I did not even try to cook any more.
Fyi, regular gun season runs to next week, then black powder, archery continues, 2nd doe season...
“Turdy Point Buck”

I wonder if the meat was finely ground would that solve the problem.
“I couldn’t get to my grenades
The howitzer was in the shop
My stomache was tied into a monkey knot
Ya my only hope was betty lou
She was da one
A combination AK-57 uzzie radar lasar triple barrel
Double scoped heat-seakin shotgun
Turdy point buck
Turdy point buck
Turdy point buck
Ya dat the women clappin’ the the back dere i gotta make dat
Well he was comin for me gettin bigger and bigger but
My fingers were so frozen i could not pull the trigger
I kicked off my boots fired with my big toe
I was Dirty Harry, John Wayne, and G.I. Joe
Ya dat turday point buck was only 10 feet away
Ya still i couldn’t seem to hit him and he wouldn’t run away
And after 20 minutes when the smoke cleared
There were hunters on the ground and the world’s biggest deer
Standing tall and proud, he looked at me and yawned”
I bet that old deer is tough as a boot. Best bet is to grind every last ounce of him into sausage.

LOL...that’s b/c he knows it will be tough as shoe leather.
It will make a great mount though.:)
Agreed ... 1:3 ratio, pork to venison.
Real easy to overcook venison loin.
Last one I had, I cut butterflys out of the loin about 3/4 inch thick.
Only took 3-4 minutes per side on the grill. No marinades, no spice concoctions. Just salt and pepper. Some of the best meat I have ever had.
But we have tender, corn fed whitetails here, and she wasn’t all that old.
about 245 non typical. I don’t have much faith in the story, I live in Missouri and have hunted from Alaska to Zimbabwe. Missouri’s season is still open for the rest of the week. I was off work and hunting today.
Probably not eight years old. The racks go downhill after 5-6 years old. We raised a bunch of them, prime is 5 to 6 years on pen raised deer. Wild ones do not fare better.
