Trophy Room: Freakshow Whitetail bucks are incredibly tough. This, is a mountain whitetail for the ages. Many years had come and gone since Tyson Pottenger and I had nicknamed this guy Freakshow. At 2.5 years old we both agreed that he was a “Freak” in genetics for his age. Fast forward to his 6.5 year of existence. Freakshow had grown up on our scrape sets. But now he was the king of the mountain and it was showing in his rut prowess. He was daylighting a fair amount as local does started cycling in. On a wet rainy morning, high winds, with a layer of snow on the ground, Freakshow made a move on a young spike buck that had caught his attention. The perfect distraction. At 18 yards, I 10 ringed the brute and he didn’t make it 10 more seconds. The blood trail was wicked in the rain pounded wet snow. Double lung pass throughs are a bowhunters blessing. On top of all of that, upon further inspection we found Freakshow had even been hit previously by another hunter in the face! It was a great day on the mountain. Shared with my son Jess Pottenger and a deer old friend that has since passed. Congratulations @mtn_man33 and way to Hunt Like A Wolf 🐺
