All of this transcends the size of the bucks, which are really momentos of the experiences that brought you to them. In that respect,all deer,and all deer hunts,are special. This makes them all really big deer in our minds beyond the size of the antlers.


Love to see more picture posted. Keep them coming.


Agreed!

Looks to me we got some damn good big buck hunters out there. I've got a few more that I need to scan and put up one of these days. They dont compare to a lot of these. BobinNH found your pic nice bucks.

Dog Hunter that's the kind of buck you just shoot on sight! Keep tabs on him and hope you are able to find him during season.


Yes sir...he would be a no brainer, if you can find him during the season.

An added kick in the face were these bulls, on the same hilltop. I stood there will my thumb up my butt and a cow tag (which I never filled)

This Fall's buck:
Not in the same class as many of these giants, but the mount should be arriving today, so the memories are on my mind.

tdn: Could be wrong, but from here that looks to be an older buck on the mend.

Personally I rank those old bucks right along with higher scoring younger mature bucks because they are older,experienced, and just as hard to find and kill as the bigger antlered bucks. Great deer.

Congrats wink

Fairly short shot, 210 yards with a 7mm/08. That's some of my favorite country...

Nice Ebby! All great deer but that whitetail 3rd from the top looks to be real toad!

Kansas or Colorado? Open country there!

Thanks Bob! Yeah, he barely had any teeth left - probably one of my top "trophies" just b/c of that age class.

Another one of Don's bucks from a few years back. He took this one with his 30/06. Not bad for an Iowa boy! He's a blast to hunt with....takes in everything.
