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

Guys I'm specifically hunting THIS buck only - unless there's another one 'CLOSE' to his size.



I could have shot him (illegally) during our Oct. Doe ONLY season. I don't regret passing.
From this pic ( I TOOK ) he may be my biggest ANTLERED buck. His body size is not exceptionally heavy.

I know he's still alive. A relative saw him late one afternoon recently.

Wish me luck.

Saw this old big 8 the evening before opening day.

Never saw him again. In the “Golden Triangle” of South Texas, north of Laredo.

Seems like a lot of the respondents focused on "big" antlers. If bodies count too, I submit these three hogs taken in a howling blizzard in Montana one morning last October:

My pal Kim and I stayed with this buck for almost two miles and finally got ahead of him.

Kim killed him cleanly with one shot from his 300 Norma.

Yeowza. Very Nice.

That's the luck of the draw!

Thank You for Resurrecting this Thread. It's one of my favs.

Damn, I miss the OP.

I thought that as soon as I saw the thread. I LOVED talking to him about big buck!!

Agree...

First year hunting my new place in KS. Not saying this is really big, but biggest I have on camera so far. It will be interesting to see if any giants show up in Nov.

Hmm, well, I'd shoot it. Bigger than anything I've seen this year (trail-cam or live).

Maybe not “really big” but pretty big. Pre-cell phone, early 90’s traditional archery whitetail, just 2-3 mi into SD from Iowa after a snow storm. -20* day but in the rut and killed about 10:00 a.m. A doe came and laid down about 20 ft. from the base of my tree while I was shivering ucontrollably about 15’ up. He came by nose down and stopped near the doe allowing about a 8-10 yard shot. I could barely get to full-draw on my 57# recurve as I had been sitting since 6:30. In fact, I was about 60% draw and the hit was not where intended as I hit him through the neck.
I had been after him awhile as were some others.

As do I. Truly an enjoyable person to engage.

Misc. nice bucks Rio7

As would I lol. But he isn't agreeing to be around during daylight.

He’s a hammer buddy! I hope you get a crack at him!

Same here. This time of the year was the best.
