  • It's not often that you get a 200" deer on camera, let alone a 278" buck. Some would call that a unicorn... and that's exactly what this buck is. Dave Kopp shot this world record unicorn buck in stark county, Ohio in February of 2016. It's also not often that the hunter who shot a legendary buck is still alive to tell the tale, so for today's video, Dave Kopp himself will be telling the story of how he harvested this mega giant!

      Private property in Ohio is great in the later months. Deer can’t resist bait piles that time of year. There is hardly anything else to eat.

    " I let him go because I knew there was something bigger" after just saying he agreed to ONLY hunt that one buck.. kinda make you a little suspicious of his intent.

    • @zwiggles6908
      @zwiggles6908 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Right before that he said “maybe he normally would have shot”. He normally was not hunting his FiL’s property, and judging by his trophy wall the 3.5 YO may not be old enough for his taste.

    I hear all these pro hunters and even my buddies, Talking about scent control and camo, tree stands and here I am hunting in shorts and normally a white t shirt,All I worry about is noise, and I carry a 1956 marlin 35 Remington Texas model, and as of last year I have 387 racks I've taken hanging in the house and barn that's not counting twice as many doe and hogs,I started hunting at 9 then in 1999 I enlisted in the Marines MARSOC RAIDER'S spent 16 years in 9 of that was in Iraq and Afghanistan,I got home early 2016 and didn't start hunting again until 2021 I only killed 7 last year, but this November here in Florida I'm getting serious about it again 🤣🤣

    I mean no disrespect but there is no good excuse for selling a once in a lifetime buck unless it’s for once in a lifetime money. That’s like selling the Mona Lisa and hanging a reprint on your wall in its place. Money comes and goes. If it’s really just about “more people getting to see it and appreciate it” it would have been sold to Bass Pro.

    Good vid.....but we have to stop with the "harvesting" junk.
    Its disingenuous & makes it seem as if we as hunters have to sugar coat what we do...which is kill.
