    24:05. Had him hung up on the basketball goal. Love the story!! And Michael’s reaction is just classic. That’s why Waddell is so relatable. He is down to earth.

    How cool is it to see an Indiana buck get so much attention. And to be taken by such a humble person. Congrats my man! I can't wait to see it in person possibly at the Indiana deer show.

    I'm just a stones throw away from where that deer was shot . I love Indiana ... lived here my whole life . I love hunting Indiana !
    But , my favorite thing ? Every time Dustin looks at the mount , he smiles ! ❤
    Congratulations Dustin ! And maybe this will lead to a #1 country song ? I hope you're already working on it ?
    "Mr. Big Buck" ... 😉

    I think waddle says it best, it doesn't matter who kills the big buck, we all hope for a monster, but celebrate your buddy's, we all get our day, may not be world class but it doesn't have to be. Enjoy the moment, enjoy this crazy ride we all ride called life.

  • @dangrenier6040
    @dangrenier6040 Рік тому +1

    Yup , a tag in your pocket at the end of the season isn't a bad thing ! Being out in the woods is something no one can explain ! Meeting a 200 inch deer is freaking awesome ! I let 3 160s go this year ... only because I don't need to kill a deer . Can't eat the antlers .

    In my hunting career ... career " 30 years . I've been close to 3 200 inch whitetails . Missed on at 20 yards . The next one , watched him walk away for what seemed like a day . 3rd ... seen him the first day and hunted that bugger for a week ... makes you feel small , but a good hunter .

All respect to the Hanson Buck but if they were side by side it wouldn’t be fair IMO based on the MASS on the Huff Buck. I love this story and can’t get enough of it mainly because of how down to earth Dustin is Congratulations brother.

    I know some of his family I live the next county east of where he shot this buck and have hunted near where he came from. Heard so many ridiculous stories over this buck. Haters always gonna Hate! Jealousy is real! Never give up killing one bigger than you have before. This buck was never talked about he was definitely a ghost all his life! I may never kill one bigger than my 162” 10 point.
    Congratulations again Dustin Huff!!

However I have seen two deer that are high 180s and even tho I am only 25 years old I spend a huge amount of time in the woods I have killed a 145 but I promise huge deer are where you are they may not be as many as other states but they are there.

    Do I gut shoot him...???? Really? NEVER EVER. IMHO, you NEVER intentionally botch a shot "just to get an arrow in him" so folks will believe you saw this deer. Glad he was able to make a good shot, but it's kinda sad at the same time he was almost willing to make a bad shot on purpose.
