Giant Virginia Buck - est. score 190"
Roanoke City, VA
Jason Whitlow got his first trail cam picture of this buck on September 4th, he named him “Pops” in honor of his late father. He decided to put all his effort into killing this big deer early in the 2024 season and worked to obtain hunting permission on additional properties in the area in case Pops transitioned to a different location prior to hunting season. 8 days before the season opener he started showing up again and day-lighted on camera 3 days out of a 7 day window so Jason knew he had a chance of killing him. He was hunting on Sunday morning, October 6th, and the buck stepped out of the brush and walked into 10 yards. Jason double lunged him, he ran 85 yards and tipped over. It's Jason's biggest buck to date and he rough scored him at 190 2/8" but will be getting an official score in the coming days.
