That was in April 2021. Mozurak, a Pennsylvania resident, was shed searching an Ohio beanfield the place he had permission to hunt that fall. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"BOG7LUqR5Fg\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;Rare as a 250-Inch Buck.&#039; Pennsylvania Bowhunter Harvests Old Ohio Six-Point Whitetail\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BOG7LUqR5Fg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI know there\u2019s huge deer in Ohio. But to get my hands on something that big was pretty awesome,\u201d Mozurak says. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely no missing that antler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It can be one other yr and a half earlier than Mozurak would get a shot on the buck that dropped the shed. In the meantime, one of many 4 factors receded a bit, making the deer a near-perfect 3-by-3. When the 2022 season rolled round, Mozurak\u2019s fortunate area was planted in corn. This meant there was sufficient cowl and thick progress to funnel massive bucks, a profit the sector had not yielded the yr prior when planted with low-creeping beans. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a really hard farm to hunt. There\u2019s no pinch points, you\u2019re just in thick, thick woods,\u201d Mozurak says. \u201cI didn\u2019t see him [the season prior], I think he was wintering somewhere else. But I immediately got trail cam pictures proving he was still alive in the spring. I went out there in the summer, set out some more trail cameras, trying to get a good pattern on this deer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozurak discovered that the buck moved calmly by trails within the corn. He determined to hunt as early within the season as attainable, hoping to catch the buck nonetheless sticking to its summer season sample. After a number of days, he determined to maneuver nearer to the place the buck would usually come from. The thick forest made for a tough strategy, particularly because the strip of woods subsequent to the corn area was so slender. But Mozurak hoisted himself and his saddle into an immature tree.<\/p>\n<p>One additional complicating issue was the shot angle. The manner Mozurak was oriented, the buck would in all probability stroll straight at him. Mozurak had little interest in taking a head-on shot and knew he\u2019d have to attend till the buck walked previous him to get a good broadside angle. He determined the sit can be extra for observational functions and he\u2019d come again the subsequent morning with higher data on the buck\u2019s routine. <\/p>\n<p>But as quickly as that call handed by Mozurak\u2019s thoughts, the buck materialized. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe did exactly what I thought he was going to do, walking right toward me,\u201d Mozurak says. \u201cTo this day I still don\u2019t know exactly where he came from. But he ended up turning his full body and smelling where I came in from. He turned enough that I could shoot him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozurak let an arrow fly, hitting an ideal pass-through shot. The buck ran about 50 yards towards a street and went down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was super quick,\u201d Mozurak says. \u201cFrom the time I shot him to the time he dropped was probably about 10 seconds and he never moved after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozurak doesn\u2019t normally battle to tug bucks out of the woods, however this one offered a problem. He estimates the buck weighed about 260 kilos on the hoof.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" data-dimension=\"landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1007\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20\/IMG_6712.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"six pointer\" class=\"wp-image-225097\"\/><figcaption>The buck has all types of mass and size, simply not many factors. <i>Louie Mozurak<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe was an old deer, lots of scars on him,\u201d he says. \u201cScars on his neck, scars on his ears, he had a couple wounds on his back, maybe barbed wire. But I just feel really lucky to be able to harvest a deer like that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The 3-by-3 rack measured 140 inches on the dot with 26-inch major beams and 14-inch G2s. Mozurak is uncertain why the buck didn\u2019t develop extra tines, because it positively had the room on the principle beams to take action. But as Mozurak factors out, a six-pointer of this dimension is very uncommon. The one receded tine stands at simply lower than an inch lengthy, so Mozurak isn\u2019t certain if the buck will really measure as a 3-by-3. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really close to an inch,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a really swirly point, so I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s really going to be a true 3-by-3, but you can\u2019t even see it in pictures because it kind of comes out at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozurak says the trick with outdated, cautious bucks like this one is to maintain your distance and go away them room to really feel snug till you make your transfer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes it\u2019s good to sit back and observe before going in there and busting all the deer out,\u201d he says. \u201cThe day you go in there is the day you have to kill them.
