Mission is a good unit to put in for, though there are betters in the state if you're not familiar with the area...

Yea the pictures of that Big boy are awesome. A couple with the buck along side the road and one shows the rack with a tape stretched out. In the Lower 30 inches catagory. 33" to be exact.

Where is the photo of the road kill?  10 years ago my cousin was walking up a draw and noticed a set of antlers sticking up above some brush.  Thinking it was an elk he kept going up the draw.  When he reached the top he turned and looked back down he noticed a group of deer had moved up the hillside where he was.  He saw a buck in the group and put the glasses on him.  He said he just about soiled himself.  He figured it was between 32-34 wide 24- 26 tall and had 7 on one side and 8 on the other.  When he realized that is what he walked by he felt like crying.  he was less than 100yrds from it when he walked by.  He did attempt to put a stalk on it but the game was on and he never saw that deer again.  No one believed him until my uncle saw it later that season!  They do exsist but are burried in that timber like ticks.

i looked for the road kill buck on this site but couldnt find it.

the biggest buck i seen was just outside the mission unit about 1 mile south when i was hunting naneum. there are some truely monsterous bucks in that area. it was a 6x7  with eye guards, i was glassing it from about 1000yds across a very steep canyon. there was no way i could make a stalk on it. so i just sat there for 30 minutes watching it feed up and over the next ridge. i would put it around the 200" mark. and i have seen 20+ bucks on that same ridge over the last 7 years but never that same buck

i havent hunted mission yet...this will be my first year.

but the area im talking about where ive seen all the big bucks is just outside of mission...and i actually havent seen a single deer there in the last few years. it has been over run with elk...

but i have never seen another hunter in that little area. except for one guy and his kid who have property bordering this little area. they always come up and chat with me when they see me pull up.

you know what ive had my buddie (new to hunting) with me the alst few years. and he has ruined alot of chances at some nice bukcs for me. last year i missed a big 5x5 at 40yds with my 44mag, shot right over him.

this year im going back to archery to get away from the people. im hunting with some new guys, and im gonna put some serious time scouting mission this year for deer.

ive went far to long without filling a tag. im due for a monster.
