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

A stud!
(The one with the white belly)

castnblast: That's a nice one. I like the big bodied Northern whitetails from Canada! They do get big up there!

Bob,
I think what's made this thread fun is that most of these are just regular guys that love to hunt, not professionals. Guys that have had their day in the sun or two, and that's why each kill is special to the hunter. We all realize how hard the big ones are to outsmart so it means something when it all comes together.
Thanks for the read.

Fireball: That's well spoken and I agree. There are bucks posted here that a lot of guys I know would love to have shot....a great many have never killed a whitetail or mule deer the likes of which have been posted here,despite a lot of trying.

Pretty obvious there are a lot of deer hunters on here who take their deer hunting very seriously.

Bob, I've been hunting mule deer since I was about 12 years old, hooked at an early age.

It is by far my absolute favorite 'hobby'. Actually other than bird hunting it is my only hobby but that is beside the point.


Give my left nut to take a week every Fall and just hunt mule deer.

Thank God whitetails are easy to sneak in before or after work!

Sam I have to admit that whitetails and mule deer are on about even footing with me......by a slight margin I like mule deer a skosh better,simply because I am restless,love to hunt on my feet and am fairly aggressive about it.

Much whitetail hunting is, of necessity in country I have hunted,more sedentary,i.e.....you gotta sit still. I admit to hating it mostly.

I have been addicted to mule deer hunting for many years.I love the country where they are found.

Yep!

Here's a nice Colorado buck my grandfather shot.

Amen brother. I've been hooked on 'em since 1971, age 11.

I used to sit on the edge of the street and wait for my Dad to come home from the lease when I was 5. He finally took me on my first hunt when I was 7 or 8 to a little place called Doss between Mason and Fredricksburg. I was hooked from that weekend on in 1958. I can't believe I'm on the down hill side of my hunting career but God has blessed me w/a wonderful heritage and an exciting hobby. powdr

Another Amen from the back row....!

RavenR: Wow! Looks like a toad in miniature! That is quite a buck! From AZ?

Grand that's a great mule deer. Nice you still have your grandfather's buck!

Bob, thank you. Granddad had quite a collection, but this one was my favorite. He really carries the mass out well to the points. Eyeguards would have made him perfect.



Robert

1963, Rock Springs WY. My uncle Bud on the left got it. My dad on the right with his 300 Sav.

My best buck yet . Got it in NW Wis. in 2009. The buck hanging is over 8' long for sure.

Ihookem,

Those old pictures are super-special!

Bob, how about the biggest deer species in the U.S.? Grin

That's not fair, I can see your wheeler right next to that bull. You didn't even have to pack him.

Nice blacktails further up BTW. Hunting Kodiak for those bucks is some of my favorite deer hunting and I try to go every year.
