Patience pays off for Bill Forren with an 11-pointer
Bill Forren knew this big 11-pointer was wandering around a friend's property near Rocky Mount, so he passed up shots at young bucks and does early in the season while waiting for this one to show.
When the buck finally did appear on Nov. 20, Forren couldn't get a shot. Fortunately for him, the buck came back by a couple hours later and Forren dropped it with a 20-yard shot with his .50-caliber muzzleloader.
The buck's main beams measured 25 inches, with an inside spread of just over 20 inches and 5-inch bases.
man what a rack, you have to be the luckiest dude, lol,way to go, once in a lifetime buck there, congrats

Super buck Bill. Congratulations on letting younger bucks walk. More hunters need to practice letting 2 1/2 yr old or maybe 3 1/2 yr olds walk. You will never know about a deer genetics unless he gets some age on him. This buck should score close to 160 B.C. great buck once again.

I made a comment on the deer above, some parts were
left out due to the roanoke times policy
I know its cause i left a curse word, i just got pumped up when i seen that picture, man, what a buck
so i want to apoligize for the verbage i left on this deer, didnt mean no harm, just was excited, dont see
many deer of that size often.
congrats again Bill

Thanks guys for the nice words and Bo, you are real close, a rough B & C field score has him at 160+. He has over 1/2 dozen non scoring sticker points on the back side of his main beam bases and one sticker on the front burr that was over an inch. I let as many as 10 deer per day walk, including several nice young bucks. I averaged hunting this stand site once or twice per week as I am very particular about controlling human scent and contamination... It all came together and needless to say, it was rush that only God can give to walk up on this guy.
