Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What Is It About 300 Pound Deer?

b: 270,280,30/06....there are others,but really.....who cares about them?

bwinters-

I've hunted the Dryden area several times.
This one came from that area - the bush though, not the farmland to the west.

It's the same buck as the one I posted earlier. (hanging from the endloader) Sorry for the bloody mess around the nose - turns some peeps off.

Dude...I knew you were a Browning guy.

I'll try to scan in some pics at lunch time...I like this thread.

No worries on the bloody nose mate, that's part of the game. There is a buck on the buck board at our Gander MT. Beautiful deer, picture taken next to the gut pile.

Here is the one in got in MN this year. Head and neck of a big dude...rack and body, not so much.

Weighed 184# dressed.

Here is another whopper from this past year, WI buck.

That last buck is going to be in the upcoming North American Whitetail, in the July issue. That is my friends buck from WI last bow season. Her first one with a bow.

tzone; I like the one in the middle with the pug nose...almost made me jump out of my seat and reach for the BBQ sauce!
I shot a mule deer last year bigger than that...when someone had to ask " What did he score?" I ventured the guess...about 15 B&C points gross, maybe 13 net...but he had AWESOME G-1s!
The girls bow kill...now thats a different matter! I wanna shoot one like that when I grow up! Excellent.Good pics!

Great bucks,tzone! I like them all. A 184 is still a big deer

Tom, the first buck I ever shot up at deer camp was a twin to the one in the middle. Took it with a Rem 760 in 30-06.

Your friends bow kill is really nice. Going to be tough to beat it.

Bill, believe it or not, that thing came out of the Mead!

If I get a chance, I'll scan in some I have of my biggest, a true hog. 227# dressed, and my biggest. He was very rutted out, I'd like to see what he weighed two weeks before I shot him.

He was longer than a 6 1/2' truck box, though I didn't really check the true length.

Ingwe,

The G1's on that little guy were only 4" but he makes up for it in mass.

He pushed the scales to about 80# dressed, but the venni sausage was good.

I'm still in awe of the lass that slayed that farging hog. What a dandy, DANDY buck.


Now, how did I know some smart @ss would bring up the Browning hat? If pressed for a likely candidate, I'd have bet the farm on you. Believe it or not, I'd forgotten to pack a baseball hat and it's the only orange baseball hat they had in Fort Scott, KS. I'll send it to you, as I know you're a die hard Buckmark man.

Although none of us have ever killed a 300 lb deer at our whitetail camp in the TX Panhandle, we've tried out best to eat 300 lbs of biscuits during the week......

This is the biggest bodied buck I've ever shot. I know this pic doesn't do much justice to this buck, but I'm 6'2" and go 245lbs (lard ass), but this buck had a chest girth of 52" right behind the shoulders. The ranch foreman who's seen many dead mature deer say mature bucks like this have been weighed many times at 335 live/275 field dressed and I believe it.

Not only do I appreciate this, I wholeheartedly APPLAUD it! Sometimes the women deer aren't safe with us, especially if my coon'ass buddies show up wanting to cook something.

That right there is a lot of Mulie! Nice buck.

I too have a blaze Browning hat. It's my deer hunting hat. Faded, stinky, dirty, sweaty, never been washed. Still shoot bucks at 10 yds or so.

It does get a healthy dose of Sent Killer several time a day though.

ANY cut from that little dude would be good!

Oh my, JG....That's a big'un.....

OK, that's it! I have had enough of you guys!Every time I turn around I gotta look at JG's Sonora buck and (like that's the only thing he ever shot),he sneaks in with another hog like "ho-hum" here's my biggest one....." And I gotta look at the breakfast table ,too which resembles the Last Supper...

....and then Scott comes in with these ridiculous pigs from gawd knows where,like HE'S been doing this for 30+ years,and I know he's young enough to be my son ......I have to tolerate Tzone shooting a 184 he thinks is "small" (yawn),till I learn his biggest buck is EXACTLY the same weight as my biggest from Maine,also killed at the tail end of the rut......and then, a wee little girl shoots a 162.....Cripes!

It becomes all to much to handle,all at once on here.....and I wonder am I standing still? Or hunting in the wrong places every year?........I'm gonna go have a beer.......

Make it a Jack on the rocks!
