Spent quite a bit of time looking for a giant for a friend that drew the statewide raffle deer tag here in CO this year. Found a hammer in October but my friend and I thought we might wait to see what the late season provided. Here is the big deer we elected to pass..

Here are two 200" deer in the same picture...

Here is a picture of the big deer up close. He is at least a 14x13 with gobs of mass, inlines, cheaters, droptines, many brownies and character for days...

[Linked Image]

Video from the first moment I found him...


I had just gotten done hunting with a friend when we found that buck. In fact, this buck was in the back of the truck when I first found the above deer in the pictures...

Rob and I...

A few days later a friend of mine called me and had found a buck in a unit I had a tag for and as luck would have it the deer was on a piece of property owned by a good friend of mine and he helped me gain access. I still need to take a "gift" to the landowner for graciously allowing me to hunt his property. I was shooting a muzzleloader and my powder got moisture in it and I missed him at 50 yards. Went back 2 days later and shot him at 20 yards.

Here he is alive..

And here he is with my friend Kelby that found him...

This used to be the best plains deer I had ever found but the above buck is better. This buck was killed and grossed over 240"

In the bottom right corner you will see a bowhunter that had just let an arrow fly. Clean miss

Every time I have been behind the trigger on a big coues, something has gotten fuc&ed up.... either I miss (more than once had been the case), or, what happened on the biggest buck I've ever seen during hunting season, my mom's boss fuc$ed me by shooting at the smaller deer before we were ready.

Either way, here is my personal best. A gorgeous buck, decent size but certainly not "big".

I'll say they are. Size and trophy quality is relative to where you are but those GA buck are great shooters about anywhere! A big GA buck I bet takes as much hunting as a mature whitetail anywhere. Not easy to kill those bucks.

Drum, when you say "the above buck" are you referring to that 14x13?

Indeed.

We need to see the whitetail your wife took a couple of years ago in CO!



That was a day I won't ever forget. Gotta find one my daughter shot too. Here was this one. I'm guessing he was north of 250 on the hoof.

That's the one! Wow, what a great buck. And yes, definitely north of 250 on the hoof - maybe even 275.

This thread is making me believe that I need to try whitetails...

BTW- if any of you guys ever get the chance to hunt deer with 30338 or starsky, do NOT let them take field pics with your deer. They are both just shy of 9' tall with boots on and make your animals look really small. Not their fault, I know, but I mean... c'mon...

Thanks Drum. Hope you and the family are doing well!

The buck you posted in your second post is just unreal. This thread made me give up converting to a bunny hugger this year...

Was kinda hoping to see one of those Mex whitetails if you could...:)
