I think he was near to 325-345 lbs live weight given the 240lb field dressed weight… I might have left him along 2-3 year mire so his genetics could spread more within the local herd, but several other local buck looked pretty good too in the pictures you shared. Congrats on a great buck.
i believe that andre was an offspring of the previous beamer buck. both stood very tall and had a lot of mass. think beamer just had a bit longer to grow out those non typical tines
I hunted when I could for 15 years then realized (due to the wind) there were times when 'I couldn't hunt' and stayed away from my best locations. Even so, I lost out to the shifting wind on many instances, or too heavy a human scent. We didn't have any cameras back then, and went by studying sign plus sighting tips from the resident farmers. You're planning was top notch.
A couple buck like that were shot here in Northern VT recently, hanging out the back of the bed, one weighed in at 243 and the other weighed in at 248 both were 8 pointers and truly Giants, And both rite here in my home town!
I took a massive 9 pointer here in my home state of Michigan last October, that dressed out at 245 lbs. as well. I had no history with the deer and when i shot him i thought i was taking a 5-6 1/2 year old deer, but when i checked the teeth it just didnt make sense. I sent out the incisors for aging and he was only 3 1/2 years old. A complete freak of nature. I will probably shoot one that big of bodied again. Just a tremendous animal!.....Congrats on an amazing animal! I enjoy everything you guys put out. Good luck this season!
Congrats! love the footage and the story. That property has been good to you the last couple of years. I have a little 10 acre honey hole which has produced for me the last few years. Shot my two biggest bucks last season on it. I have learned a lot watching Deer society videos. I used to hunt every chance I got and now I only go when the conditions are perfect. The big 11 I shot last year field dressed at 190lbs. I can't even imagine walking up on one that dressed out at 245! I only hunted that 10 acres 4 times last year and it paid off big time. Couldn't have done it without the intel of the cameras. Congratulations and keep the vids coming. Good luck out there!
Thanks for the kind words! We are glad you are having success and picking up a strategy or two from our videos. Keep up the good work and good luck this season!
Got a 300+ October 24, 2020 on public land. And coincidentally I was using an extinguisher. It was the grunt sequence, full hour before last shooting light
Wow brother... totally awesome.. he was a giant.. I know that size of deer.. I was blessed once to take one that big.. beauty. Congrats JJ.. Dennis in saskatchewan
I shot a white tail 184 points that weighed 215 lbs dressed no head hide or hooves just body one week later my son shot a white tail that weighed 205 lbs dressed no head hide or hooves just body our deep freeze was full that winter I wish I could send you a picture congratulations on your huge deer he's a beast
@@TheDeerSocietyfor someone that don't have camera footage to review the shot, without an exit hole probably not alot of blood to go on. Congratulations on a beautiful deer!
Seemed like he stopped and presented the shot when the wind swirled and he caught a whiff of something unfamiliar. Aye, at least it worked out for you and you got your hands on Andre. Congrats on a sweet buck!
Yes, you are likely correct. My wind shifted big time and was blowing directly at him as he approached. Not ideal.. luckily my scent control strategies/practices held him off just long enough for a shot. PhaZe is my go to. - JJ
Hey I’m a 12 year old kid I short my first deer at 10 years old we put a camera out and week got a huge 10-12 point and around 200 lbs he is a big boy! Nice video and when did you shoot your first buck?! Live this channel 🎉😊 nice video already 7k congratulations 🎊
This deer looks like he could be big enough to ride. Of course, you can’t ride these deer, but hey, videos like this serve as good reference when looking at mount ideas for a fantasy story.
Congratulations! Very nice buck! My dad and I have been weighing deer with a digital scale with and without the guts. For Does and small bucks after field dressed are typically about 30ish pounds more to figure in live weight. For larger bucks that have been field dressed, you can figure upward around 40 lb. (That's not including taking out the heart and lungs) so you would have to figure a little more weight if you took out the heart and lungs.
Olmsted county has some brutes. Underrated county. My buddy owns land right outside of Rochester and he’s got a wall of 150 inch or plus bucks. But everyone only talks about Winona County and buffalo.
Have seen a number of these big buck videos. How does the arrow NOT pass through? Granted, I have never shot one this size, but all my shots pass through. Is bow tuned real lite???
So you are JJ! I’m sitting here going crazy because you remind me of someone in television! Great story thus far! I don’t hunt but I would love to know how to at least have the knowledge to raise, dispatch and prepare rabbits. Hunting squirrels would be a good thing to know! Killing off pests like coyote and fox . . (Would make nice coats)! Is there anywhere I can go and learn to be a kick butt huntress? ❤
Is there any maintenance involved with the tub of water besides refilling it if it doesnt rain a lot? I would assume a lot of debris would get in there and algae growth would be a problem. As somebody who needs to add a water source to his feeding area; im very curious.
Yes, they need to be kept clean to some extent. Also, you need to add a stick or structure for critters to get out if they jump in. Otherwise that can be a bad situation in the long term.. haha
I shot a giant bick like that years ago. 8.5 year old 300# 150" main frame 8 with 11 scorable points. The back straps were near 4' long and the inner loins were like typical deer back straps. Worse eating deer ive ever had.
How do you guys get your Tactacam reveal photos so clear? Mine are very low quality photos and I can’t figure out why. Should I switch to video only? Or possibly move my camera closer?
We set the cameras to Pic+Vid and choose the highest quality selections. Then we save the HQ files from the SD card after we pul them out of the camera.
MY BROTHERS A LOT OF DEER I'VE BEEN IN THE SITUATION'S HAVE A HUNTING WRITE WITH THEY PUT ABOUT FOUR OF US IN THE FACE IN THE WOODS WE WERE HUNTING A BIG BUTT AND WE GOT HIM MY NEPHEW DIED FIRST DEER I ENJOYED YOUR SHOW THANK YOU
The Soil Starter helps balance the PH so plants can take in more nutrients for germination and growth. Then we feed the plants with our two liquid foliar fertilizers. It’s a 3 step system designed for maximum growth.
I’m out in stand now ususally have one dropped by now son decided to come target practice yesterday scared them off I’m fuming mad too about it wife told him he could do it behind my back .
I wrote a reply and sure enough it was a rage. I just watched it over and over you hit it in the v you might have barely touched the scapula going in. Please quit lying to these guys why do you sponsor guys push a head that has lost more deer than all heads combined. You sponsor guys create more wounded deer and lost dreams than anything in the sport of hunting. Greed is a sin and you know good and well it's a junky head. I am going to look and I bet any video of a deer kill you have a floppy arrow in the wind. This crap is sickening
Nah you got shaq of deer gosh danggggg we have a buck i call nemo i been hunting for 4 years now an a 16 point on camra along with a piebald we have gaints on our camra i wish i could tell thier stories
It's a good day when God wakes you up and Deer Society drops another video.
Thanks for following!!
so true
Nature woke you up
Amen
Amen brother
Even I get excited watching these videos 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

@@tectonicvex693Beamer was like 8.5 years old with a shrinking rack from the previous year. He wasn’t growing out those tines any more

Great job JJ! Awesome buck and looked like a super close encounter with that giant! Best of luck this season!
Thanks! Best of luck to you this season as well.
Hes so big holy moly! his head is massive!! i wooluld think it was a canadian buck with how big his body is. congrats. great buck.
Yes, and super dark rack. Definitely had that Canadian vibe.
That’s a giant. Thanks for giving me a lot of tips. I shot my first deer with a compound bow last year when I was 12.
Congrats on your first deer! Good luck this season.
@@TheDeerSociety u too
I love it when a plan comes together, and all of your efforts pay off with a BIG buck down! Well done.....

That is massive! Congrats!
What?!?! Someone that actually weighed their giant buck, instead of just claiming "300 lbs".
Guess I've been missing out on this channel all along.
What a great shot on that big beautiful buck. Congratulations on that superb buck.

Thanks for the kind words! We are glad you are having success and picking up a strategy or two from our videos. Keep up the good work and good luck this season!
Cameras really blur the lines on fair Chase hunting. Especially cell cams. I can’t imagine needing them on 10 acres of land.
I love these videos, they are true hunters that have passion for the animals and I wish the the bucks on my property were that big
Excellent no non-sense video with loads of information. Congratulations with a true trophy!
Got a 300+ October 24, 2020 on public land. And coincidentally I was using an extinguisher. It was the grunt sequence, full hour before last shooting light

Wow brother... totally awesome.. he was a giant.. I know that size of deer.. I was blessed once to take one that big.. beauty. Congrats JJ.. Dennis in saskatchewan
I bet.. You grow some big ones up there! Good luck this season
Finally I sure wish you guys would put out more videos always look forward to them!
Thanks. More to come!

Awesome giant buck! Please have more to come🙏
You bet!
Blows me away that at 25-30yds you don’t get a pass through with a mechanical (a.k.a. Flapper). #1 reason why fixed blades are king 👑
The great debate! He passed very quickly regardless.. that’s the goal.

Anyone else see the monster at 2:10 in the background?
good eye
Wow! Insane buck! Amazing video !!. Awesome job and awesome buck .
Glad you enjoyed it
Damn are Alberta deer are making it into the states! Good work!
What a great video. My arms went up when you drilled him JJ. Beautiful buck.
Thanks! Feels great to put a clean, ethical shot on them that puts em down fast.
I was able to purchase the phase system at duhnams sporting goods today. I was so happy to see it in the stores.
Wow! Insane buck! Amazing video !!. That deer is massive!!! Would love to hunt Wisconsin.
Thanks 👍
Alot of good deer shot right next to a neighborhood. Alot of people feed them now
Love this channel, seasons almost here in south LA!!!
Good luck this season!

BEAUTIFUL BUCKS AH THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Thanks
What an awesome buck!
Thanks!
Great video and story. Best of luck this season!
Thanks! You too!
That shed was very clean…good find.🤥
Yes it was!
Here in Alabama that’s like everyone’s dream buck
MONSTER 8!! we had a really big eight on camera for a few years consistently that disappeared on us
Yes, GIANT body! Hopefully your big 8 shows back up for you!
Great story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Way to go JJ!
Thanks!
Nice buck!
Thanks 👍
Can you do a video on your property set up? Looked amazing
Maybe one day!
I have the same 8 pointer pretty much
Good luck
I would love to get this one.
He was a good one! Good luck this season
Awesome Hunt, Congrats
Thanks 👍
Great buck, nice video. One thing I noticed though is that you probably said Andre the Giant 100 times in the video and it got a bit annoying.
It is what it is.
Great video
Great job!!!
Thanks for watching
Damn nice deer
THanks
I wouldn’t doubt that this buck has genes from BEAMER! Stud genes being produced at that property
Very likely!
Oh my gosh I almost hit one of those with my car I don't know anything about mucks but this thing was the size of a horse it was huge
Yes it was! haha
Love the asio
Great camo pattern and gear!
that is such an awesome buck, can't believe he was that heavy and had a huge rack to go along with it.
Yeah, he’s an awesome buck.
Good luck this season!
What a TOAD! Well done.
Thanks!
That’s a dream buck. Big mature 8
Thanks
Still shooting my HTR
Old reliable!
That deer is massive!!! Would love to hunt Wisconsin

Great buck. I love a massive 8 over an average 10 any day. What did he end up scoring?
Damn dude. What a beaut.
Thanks
Where in Wisconsin was this ? Great Buck!
Awesome buck! What kind of camo is that?
Asio Camo! Great pattern and gear
Still rocking the mathews no cam ? That's what I'm using. Any thoughts on upgrading
Time will tell! 👍

Awesome deer! what broadheads do u guys use?
Rage hypodermic
Just because of how tall he was a full body mount would be awesome
It sure would be!

Sausage!
My biggest deer to date was a 8 pointer
Nothing wrong with a nice 8!
You should be pulling your bow back with your elbow up. It is healthier for you and easier to pull. Also what is your draw weight?
Thanks for the tip.
you guys hunt Minnesota right?
Sone of the guys
We have 300 lb deer in Colorado, we call them normal sized deer here.
That's big!

@@TheDeerSociety okay, thank you so much for this information! I will have to give this a try!
What was the shampoo he used
PhaZe field foam by Illusion. It eliminates human odors, like a “field bath” if you will

The Soil Starter helps balance the PH so plants can take in more nutrients for germination and growth. Then we feed the plants with our two liquid foliar fertilizers. It’s a 3 step system designed for maximum growth.
@@TheDeerSociety so on a new plot I would not have to spread lime, correct?

Great buck! What broad heads are you using? Any consideration on shooting something that will get you more penetration?
Rage. Hit backside shoulder and bounced back out, making it look like worse penetration that it was. He went 100 yards.
I wrote a reply and sure enough it was a rage. I just watched it over and over you hit it in the v you might have barely touched the scapula going in.

What part of Wisconsin
northwest
I have a friend named Andre and he is a giant😂
The deer is extremely leggy, even as a young deer..maybe 2.5???
Hard to tell!
That’s definitely bigger than 300lbs. Man holy
maybe!
Wow....
