How big is a 40" buck?

[boneaddict]

Indeed!   He carries more mass than I usually see in bucks from down there.

that buck is incedible! my dream bucks are 10''s less wide than that one, he is beyond a dream buck

I've often wondered if that spread puts them at a fighting disadvantage.  Seems a tall 22" buck would fit right inside of him and gouge his face off.   

I in no way want to minimize the awesomeness off this buck but perhaps a fence kept that from happening? I don't see how width is an advantage to the buck. Obviously low deer density and genetics could encourage the width thingy.

I'm pretty sure it was a free range hunt, this is not the first 40" buck I've seen from the Sonora, the genetics in that area produce bucks that look like this.

Yup.
I've never hunted south of the boarder but I have been hearing there are more and more fences encouraging the deer to stay on certain parcels of private property so the ranch owner can stick american money in his pocket.
Just a matter of time until hunting her is just like hunting became in Europe.
A sweet buck.
Mexico is usually an annual stop for the whos who of the hunting world.

I will probably get boo'd for this but......When they get that freakishly wide, they lose some attraction for me.
It does not look like a typical normal muley buck. My dream buck would be a 30" typical4x4.   Now with all that being said......heck yea, i'd shoot it in a heartbeat.

I agree with you. 28" 4 point or 24"w by 22" tall 3 point is a dream!

I thought bucks from that far south would have small bodies but I guess not. Any idea on the weight?
Packing out a set of antlers that big would be a huge pain. Just think of how that set would snag up on brush all the time.

Holy Smokes. That is incredible.

Not sure the draw of a 40 inch buck would make me want to hunt in territory controlled by Mexican Drug cartel though
You might get a hunt for 10K and spend another 20K in ransom money to get home

I've always felt the same way.  I really want to go to Mexico some day, but I just have no desire to go down to Cartel Land

Another photo I stumbled onto of a big buck from old mexico. This is an older photo, I can't remember who sent the photo, but it's a pretty good buck!

Love it!!   Thanks for posting!   I wish I still had a photo of a 40" buck that used to live in a wa unit, its not a good unit anymore unfortunately.
