Would love that one.

Whats sad bone, is my dad tells stories of alot bigger bucks that my great grandparents killed in the 20,s and 30,s and they would give all there horns away to neighborhood kids, some  were given to friends who cut them up to make things out of,knife handles,utensil handles,gear shift knobs,hat and coat racks, etc etc  . none of there racks  are around  today,only a few faded pictures,very sad.

I talked to an old timer that moved into a house with a big fence made of elk horns....he burned it...

My grampa was a butcher an said his trash used to be full of horns...

Interesting how things have changed, definitely alot of history lost But I guess it wasn't history back then

It's amazing how big an actual 150" buck is. This one nets just over 160

Bigshooter,
You are correct, way more rare for the Whitetail cross vs Blacktail but trust me they do and I have seen a bunch of them.

RileyB,

Nice buck

Got any pics of a whitetail/mule deer cross?

That's a "real dandy", my guess is 170 range, but that is just a guess. lots of mass and great character on that one.

Thanks Rainier10, and yes that is one of the "I got a dandy" bucks

If you would have said that "you got a buck" or that was just a "big fella" I would have fallen out of my chair.

Dandy buck for sure.  Thanks for sharing.

Here are a couple of bucks from this year.  Haven't had a pro score them but a quick tape in camp has my buddies deer on the right going around 156 and mine on the left maybe making 130.  The deep forks and the mass on his really make a difference.  The crab claws and missing fork on the right side kill mine.

We couldn't pass either one up with a bow and they are each cool in their own way.

Score is just a measuring stick, both of these score well in the cool category for me, his scores better by the tape also.    The hunt itself, the pack out and the memories of these two are what really scores high for me.

My 12 yr old boy from this year.  He was super excited, but not as much as I was when we walked up to it.
