Summary
In this epssode we get the full story of the Jason Thomas buck! Jason tagged a buck of a lifetime on October 28th from the ground! Hear the full story along with:
- What Happens After You Shoot a 200" Typical
- The Controversies of the Score
- What He's Learned
From Jason: "On top of being the biggest buck I've ever killed, the typical 12-point could be a new Ohio record. It has a 22 ½-inch inside spread, 26- and 29-inch mainbeams, and tines pushing 14 inches. Scorers with Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records gave it a green score of 208 5/8, which makes it the new No. 1 in Buckmasters' Perfect category for all weapons. A panel of Boone and Crockett scorers plan on measuring the buck in late December after the 60 day drying period, and if that score holds, it would be a new state record, according to B&C. It would also go down as the No. 3 all-time typical whitetail in the B&C record book."
