i've shot a lot but never anything real huge

Nothing to brag about either, but then again you can't eat antlers either.

In most hunt towns you can wait outside of the bar and around 8pm the hunters start roooooooooooooooooooooolin in. When they go inside, pick your rack out and go shoot a doe and get it mounted

Cabelas bought one of my doe bucks last year :face-icon-small-hap Was good for a set of twin pipes and contraband :devil::devil:

Shot a 31" Muley a few years ago and a pretty nice bull, dont have pics on this puter though

Got a Stag whitetail being mounted now, wont get it back for another month, he's wild, picked that rack outta the back of a truck in Broadus MT

Heck nate, put some elk antlers on a muley. Now that'd be funny.

Here is my deer. 34 7/8" wide, and just over 190.

My biggest bear is small, but it was with a bow, spot and stalk in southern utah so it was cool, and my biggest elk will be shoot this september. I drew a Book Cliffs Archery elk tag with only 4 POINTS!!! :heart::heart:

I always seem to kill (3 bulls and ~15 bucks), but usually nothing big. I did kill a 27" buck 3 years ago, but it was spindly-horned and none too impressive. So due to my habit of letting the large ones breed, here is a 38" buck that dad killed many moons ago, and a 49" X 49" bull elk that my sister killed on her first elk hunt. As you can see, mom likes to decorate them during X-mas.

That buck is a doosy!! My buddies looks very similar!! Made it into the boon a Crocket books even after the deductions.

Dad has not even had it scored, so I don't know where it would end up. He is stubborn that way. Any guesses from someone who has experience scoring bucks???

It has a couple of cheaters, as you can see. the largest drawback is that it is only about 22" tall. One thing is for sure, you don't see many of the 5-point based racks anymore.

Got this one in Alberta last year.. We didnt have it scored offically B&C but we measured it ourselves and it was around 212..

HeadLever · May 13, 2008

Rasp,
Nice buck! The matching cheaters are always cool. What did it measure?

rasp112 · May 13, 2008

The outside spread was around 32". The mass of this deers antlers are what makes him impressive.. With the same set of antlers with an average gurth he would have been a 190 class buck.. The cheaters are my favorite.. the brow tines are small on him

570MC · May 13, 2008

Is that deer a whitetail? LOL

Nope... a sitka blacktail of course..

justadude · May 13, 2008

It's a deer of a life time with out a doubt. However, looking at it closer the symmetry is off quite a bit. It is a non-typical specimen, which requires some serious height, width and girth to make it in. They would make multiple deductions from the scoring. I don't think it would quite make it in. Close though.

I have seen deer that don't look nearly as impressive make it in simply because of good width, height and damn near perfect symmetry.

Surely nothing to be ashamed of!!

You should take it to a outdoor expo and have it scored!
I surely could be wrong.

How do you guys find the time and cash to do both? My sled addiction has really cut into my hunting!

SAWYER · May 13, 2008

hunting doesn't take much cash

570MC · May 13, 2008

it doesnt really cost to much if you are just going hunting by your self. It really doesnt cost to much if you go with a outfitters either.
