Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Let's See some Really Big Deer

Rooster.......WOW!

That's exactly what I said when I looked at your muley pics!

Great buck Rooster! Love that whitetail. A few that I got on digital. How do you guys get the old photos on digital? Scanner? No clue here.

Anyway, 1987 Oregon mule deer, archery. #7 at the time.



Anybody do blacktails?



My buddy John with his biggest blacktail we got him last fall-

Here is my biggest bodied buck (picture doesn't do his body justice). Never put him on a scale but it was the biggest deer I have been around Wasn't going to shoot him because I thought his right side was just broke off until I started looking harder and realized that's just how they grew. Not sure what he had wrong with him.


Got this one I think 8 years ago. This one isn't the biggest buck but it is my biggest buck.

Not the giants that some of you guys have posted but I have shot a nice buck or two through the years. I don't have pics of most of them, carrying a camera just wasn't on my list in my younger days, don't leave home without one now.


My best whitetail. Shot him when I was a sophomore in HS. 22" inside

Euro mount of the same buck hanging in my reloading room.

Another decent buck I killed my freshman year of college, no photo exists of him.

My first Sitka Blacktail from Kodiak island. If he'd have had the fourth point on to match the other side he would have broken 100". Still my best and one of my most harrowing adventures.

I killed a 27" muley when I was 15 in SW CO. Just saw a big buck stand up out of his bed and shot him. When I got up to him I realized he was a big forkie with a giant body. My dad had the only pic of me and that deer in his office for years, I'll have to call him and see if he can text me a pic. It's still my biggest muley and the only animal I've ever had mounted. Loving all of you guys' muley pics.

Rooster fabulous buck! I know Minn. grows big deer. Never hunted there. Congrats!

Fireball that is a big mule deer! Those blackmails look big to me,and your friends buck must be B&C quality....looks like a huge blackmail to me.

Laker those are both big deer....very nice. The big old one looks like a buck on the mend, going downhill and antlers don't grow. Sometimes an injury to the body will retard antler growth on the opposite side.

KID: Those are nice bucks. The blacktail looks to be a toad!

I look forward to seeing this thread everyday, it just keeps getting better.

A few more from Mexico

Wow! Those Mexico bucks seem to tend to big spreads....and the antlers run "chocolate" in color.

That looks like a big coues deer.

Goodness gracious there are some great bucks here.

I can see only one downside to all of this - it's eight months (at the very least) until we can chase them again.

Not the caliber of some others posted, but the best opening day we've had in Pa in a long time. First pic is from right to left. My Dad's, Mine, buddy Dave, buddy J.P. Second pic is myself and my Dad again. Both taken off my Dad's land, less than 15 minutes apart. I walking out to get the quad for mine and watched my Dad take his. Both have similar features to their racks that make me think they come from the same Daddy....

Dad used a Remington 760 in .257, I used my Mauser .35 Whelen, JP used a Remington 700 that started as a .300 SAUM, but I bought a barrel of someone on here in .300 WSM and we switched them out/ Dave used a WBY Vanguard in .300 WSM. My Dad loaded each round used.

Chumly: Outstanding! Thanks for posting!

A 760 in 257 Roberts is very cool! You don't see many of those.

Took me scouring the internet for 3 years to try to find him one that wasn't crazy priced, then walked in to the LGS and the owner was in the middle of making the deal to trade for it. Had it bought before the guy who traded it in was out of the parking lot. Dad's first gun (still has it) was a 760 .30-06. Last 7-8 years he's been trying to get one in each caliber. Anybody got a .244 they want to sell????

Nope sorry...

Never seen one! 257 is scare enough!

Cool 760. I saw my first 257 a couple months ago, a five diamond checkered one, pretty cool but a lot of $$$ for a 760.

I killed my first two bucks when I was a little fella with a 760 in 244. It was my Great Grandad's rifle and he lent it to me for my first deer season.

Great Blacktails & both with 99's !!!!

Yup...I was thinking the same thing!!!!!!
