It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Nice thread Bob. Here are a few from the past. I was not there but I can atleast say I built the gun. I got to be there on this one. Here is a 188 gross Double dropper Whitetail. This buck and the next were killed within 400yds of each other. I filmed both and it was one good week of deer hunting. I will always remember when this one stepped out of the Russian Olives. The hunter looked back at me and asked "Do you think that's him?" Gross was over 200 inches. [img]http://i1205.photobucket.com/a...hnMuleDeerBuck2012_zps11967b41.jpg[/img]This buck was named Fork and Spoon because of the distinctive drops. Scott found and mounted his drops from the year before and then got him killed. [img]http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/37d29d21.jpg[/img]

Thanks John! I knew you had them out there somewhere! They are all great bucks but those whitetails are some real toads! Lifetime bucks really. Very neat to find the sheds and then kill the bucks later. Never have done that. Thanks for posting those.

win7STW: Uuhh.....Wow! You're being modest. That's a great buck with LOTS of character, not a little. Unless a guy is wedded to score and likes the clean typicals, to many, mass is a distinguishing characteristic;it's the eye grabber and recognized right away.It jumps out. You don't "size up" a buck like yours. You kill him on sight. He is wonderful! Congrats and thanks for posting.

Thanks Bob, I would rather shoot a unique deer over a typical. Don't take me wrong I will shoot at anything that's 150+.
I got super lucky on my deer. I watched him slip out of a shelter belt that other hunters were walking. He walked out less than a 100 yards behind the one guy. I watched him bed down in CRP a snuck up to within 30 yards of him. The rest is history.

Well this one was pretty active in Central Billings for quite a while. I have not seen him since December so I dont know if someone poached him or not. He was tame enough people could walk up with 25 yards or so. This is the best pic I have of him, looked like a beast when his velvet was all cleaned up. Also the thickest mule deer I have ever seen. I guess you can get that way raiding gardens all day and night. Any guesses on his size or score? Looking at him head on his outside spread was about 3-4" past the tips of his ears.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

varmints it's kind of funny to see big smart old bucks in a neighorhood....they know where they are safe From a pure "score" standpoint, he is not built to score typical,from what I can see. He's just "big" and if you saw him you shoot him immediately without wondering about that stuff He looks like one of those big bucks that falls through the cracks of the scoring systems but might be more impressive than a "clean" typical. I know I'd shoot him immediately

Stories like that make us wonder how many we have walked past.

Greg those look like great deer! How big do those mule deer get in your country?
Those Coues are beautiful! Don't know much about them but those look "big" to me!
