One more shot sounded like he is familiar with the place and the situation surrounding the deer.
I did see pics from Tyler’s IG that showed three year progression of the deer.
I’m not saying anything negative towards what he did or how he did it I’m only saying when I think of a state record buck buck that it’s a buck that was elusive hard to kill and everyone was trying to get a crack at it .

So essentially, they turn the property into the most ideal sanctuary for the deer, and then shoot it all for profit gain?
Reminds me of those ranches in TX

Stitches, we really don’t know what financial arrangements he has with his dad. And we don’t know what hunting skills were, or were not involved.

That's incorrect, because we have knowledge of past dealings with the same people. Also, company managing the property knew exactly his daily routines, new he first starting showing up in daylight 2 days prior, set up a ground blind for the wind forecast for that day, called in the VIP, and he showed up one day and took the deer he wanted. It would be different if the "hunter" was doing all the scouting, managing, and endless days of sits waiting to get one glimpse. This was all set up to occur.

No difference than a high fence deer. 20k acres highly managed and restricted. That buck was cattle. Sure it "could" have left, but guess what it didn't because it had no reason to and they made sure of that by farming him. And if it had left, no shot they were going to hunt him down on the WMA. They'd just move down the list to the next few bucks in line. I'm sure they have an inventory, and if one disappears they just move down the line.
Like others have said, the dude flew in on a private jet the day before went and sat in a blind where 20 baws had him positioned for the bucks undisturbed pattern and he just pulled the trigger.
Edit: Don't get me wrong the buck is beautiful, it's just not as a story/kill impressive as some are making it out to be and I do wonder if it should qualify as a record book deer

1st will say that the buck is a true stud no matter where it was killed without enhanced genetics.. was bred and grown there and still had survive nature and no pin to help protect it.
But I follow the same sentiement that these guys are shooters and not hunters. They bounce property to property shooting trophy animals all for the clicks and sponsorship money. Someone else has done the work for them.
I dont get the lore of shooting 5+ trophy animals a year and every year just to take a picture and (hopefully)donate the meat. I dont enjoy watching the hunting shows any more knowing that they are more scripted and more commericalized than ever. Someone said it... its all to sell a product and these guys would rape the resoruce if it meant putting more money in there pocket.

Nothing to be emotional about, Jordan helped build the industry and pointing out the fact this deer is a marketing tool is not based in jealousy nor negativity.

always find the day after the hunt picture to be odd. You take a gutted deer out the cooler, drive it to a picturesque scene, and put your camo back on to get a staged picture that is the equivalent of a glamour shot.
After reading this I was going to say I would make an exception for this deer. But after thinking about it for about 3 seconds I agree with you. Not like the evening pictures were bad.

I pulled a trigger on a bow in the 90s. Does anyone let off the string with fingers anymore?

If one of my grandkids kills a deer they are proud of, that’s what matters to me. Not this.

Tyler is a good egg. He was raised to respect his elders and always be courteous to others. For the last several years, he’s run the company and I can attest to the fact that he’s truly concerned about conservation and doing the right things for hunters.
He’s actually not a bad deer/turkey hunter and in all honesty is a much better hunter than many of today’s outdoor personalities. Hell, he grew up hunting with guys like Joe Drake, Walter Parrott, Chuck Jones, Waddell, Mundt and others who are actually really good woodsmen.
Lastly, Tyler will be the first person to tell you he’s blessed to be able to make his living in the hunting industry. He’s also an extremely humble kid who’ve I’ve never heard brag on his abilities.
At my age when I see something like this I look beyond the kill. I think it’s pretty damned cool that a farm that was clear cut for row crops in the 1960’s, then taken out of row crops in the 1990’s and put in WRP can return to a state where it’s capable of producing world class deer.

Good post and can 100% attest to this living and growing up in Columbus, GA. Another hunter killed one of Realtree Farms target bucks last year a mile or so away from their farm and word got out. Tyler personally went and met up with the successful hunter and shot the sh!t with him for a while and was truly happy for him. He eat, sleeps, and breathes it and puts the time in to be successful. They have killed some absolute GA giants off that farm.

They take a few mature trophy bucks a year and they are gonna cost between 10k-50k all in.
Not a deer on the planet worth that.

As impressive as that deer is knowing it was set up to be killed by the highest bidder makes it way less impressive.

They manage 20K acres of the old delta plantation, no or low fence free range deer that are kind of geographically land locked per say but can and do leave. Realtree has an exclusive right to the property as the fund a large portion of it thru (hunts) but in reality the Jordan family paid close if not more than $100k to lay claim and hunt that particular deer. Been about a 3 year process. And others have had to let it walk because of that price tag and commitment to the Jordans.
Even if this is an exaggeration, I'm glad I don't know who any of these people are. That can't even be classified as the same activity that 99.99% of hunters take part in.

This is more marketing than hunting. How much real tree camo will this buck help sell? End of the day it is business more than anything.
