Mississippi man Stan Ethredge recently bagged himself a 36-point buck, and the photos are absolutely insane.
USA Today brought everybody the following details of the epic hunt:
“I hunt there around my house,” Stan Ethredge said. “We’ve got a couple of hundred acres.
“I’ve been getting pictures of him for at least four years now. He was a big six point four years ago. He dropped his antlers and grew six points again. After the second year he was a 6-point, I figured that was all he was going to be. I figured he was a good cull buck, but I never got a shot at him. I just got pictures.”
…
“As soon as I got the crosshairs on him, I shot,” Ethredge said. “He’s eluded me for years, so I didn’t want to let him get away. I shot him as soon as I got the chance. I felt pretty good about the shot. He turned and ran away the way he came. I sat there a while and it was the longest hour of my life.”
This huge 36-point deer was bagged in Mississippi. It appears to have Bullwinkle Syndrome.https://t.co/jjva7O63bo pic.twitter.com/UppQANms3B

This is one of the most impressive bucks I’ve ever seen in my life. In fact, it might be the most impressive buck I’ve ever seen. There is a wall in my parent’s house with a ten of the biggest deer mounts you’ve ever seen, and that buck is bigger than every one of them.
Will this guy ever have to buy a beer again in the rest of his life? I doubt it. Ethredge will also always have the greatest hunting story no matter who is in his company. Oh, some dude shot a 16-point monster buck? Let our guy Stan tell you about the time he smoked a 36-point buck with a crossbow.
He’s king of the hunting mountain, and I don’t think he’ll be coming down anytime soon.
