🚨 The Donald Overstreet Buck 🚨
It was awesome to sit down with Donald and his daughter to hear the story of this giant 11 point that he brought down off the mountain.
My good friend Jeff Phillips at Star City Whitetails had made contact with Doanld’s son Jason on having this deer scored. Jason reached out and we set a date! It’s that easy folks!
Donald was hunting with his muzzleloader in late December of 1978. He had been hunting this ridge and bumping a deer, so he decided to slip down one side a bit to maybe catch a glimpse of what he had been spooking. Not long after he settled in this brute came by and the rest is history!!
Donald also shared he shot another buck just as big and had trouble finding it. Another man found the deer but he was unable to obtain the rack. We sure would love to see that one too!
Tale of the tape:
27” beams
6” brows
Three tines over 12”, one 13”+!!
23 3/8” wide inside
36” of mass
No irregular points
Total Buckmasters score of 198 1/8”‼️
Donald is still out there enjoying his passion. One thing I love about scoring deer is meeting great people like this family, hearing the stories, and seeing giant bucks on my table. Thanks again for bringing him out!
