Buck of the Year & 200" Club

2023 Buck of the Year

What is the Two Hundred Club?

The Two Hundred Club is an exclusive guild of members who have taken a deer with a gross score of 200 inches or greater. A difficult challenge, the 200-class harvest compared to all other class animals is about 7.5%. Try your luck and skill this Fall, take the two hundred challenge at Trails End Sanctuary.

The Big Buck of 2023 was shot during the beginning of the rut. This giant buck could actually be spotted from the lodge. He was bedded on the east side of the big pond 600 yards NE of the lodge. Along the east bank of the pond is real thick brush and briars. Even though the buck thought he was hid his antlers were sticking up above the brush. Gerald took the hunter down the hill on the NW side of the pond making sure the wind was in their favor. Then popped up over the pond dam to get a nice comfortable position and distance from the bedded bruiser. He made a great shot on the buck and now has his picture on the wall of fame for everyone to admire.
