Monster buck from vail!!!!

[heavy hauler]

sorry,   just had to see if anyone would look. :bash:of course there isnt any monsters in vail.

Dude, I wanted to see a monster buck, especially since there hasn't been any this year yet on the west side. But your right why would there be a monster buck from vail? How stupid of me to look!!

Are you talking about that 7x8 blacktail? It was not taken in Vail, it was on private property about a mile from the gate off of Vail cutoof road

[deerslyr]

lol I love it when people say theres no monsters in vail.

man that was awsome of you get our hopes up i think you have to much time on your hands

[yorketransport]

You got me to look. I don't doubt that there could be a monster back in there. But with less than a 5% success rate, I'm pretty sure that I'm never going to get him.

I make one trip to Vail every year. Usually just to check the havrvest stats. It looks like the quality and quantity is dropping every year.

Why don't you check the top black tails in the state and tell me where they come from?  could it be 667 skook bucks?

I seen a heck of a 3pt taken out of vail opening day. Never got checked but it was an extremely big buck for vail. biggest i have ever seen out of there

just having fun folks.my buddy went to the pumpkin patch(vail)  and was telling me about the crowds.same as always.  i  know there is a few big buck there i have done a little radio collar  work up there,  but the odds are terrible.  as for 667  producing  top bucks i am not sure where you are finding that knoxy.i would believe 667 produces more spikes than any unit.

WELL... This year my dad got a SPIKE...Better than nothing cause he didnt get anything last year... My brother got a 3 point from Johnson Creek Road on Friday the 23rd. the same clear cut he got his 3 point last year from Johnson Creek Road as well... 

I couldn't get my time off from work to go deer hunting this year but I am going ELK hunting....

But I did get a HUGE BUCK LAST YEAR from VAIL TREE FARM ON THE 18TH... See if I can post pics on here!!

A BIG 6 X 4 BLACK TAIL with a broken tine!!

A good friend of mine took a HUGE 3x3 out of vail on opening weekend.  Not much for a rack but the animal was one of the bigger deer i have ever seen.

There are some big bucks in Vail, it just gets hammered.  The Skook should be at least a 2 pt min gmu.

 If I'm not mistaken, Vail is closed to public access all year (?).
How many people who take blacktail hunting seriously are going to go hunt somewhere that the only time they have to scout is during the three or four weekends that the place is open all year? I'm not saying it can't or isn't done, but I will say that pulling a big buck out of an area that only has access for four to eight days a year may be tough.

The big boys are in there...

that sure is a nice looking buck. chuck
