Best buck you've seen taken by someone else while hunting?
« on: December 08, 2011, 10:49:54 AM »
This was on my first archery hunt down in Oregon. This guy was hunting the same canyon as us and when we saw him with this at the end of the day I had to snap some photos.  I had his email and sent them to him, never heard back on the score.
Beautiful spot and stalk archery buck!



When a bruiser is taken out of the same area you are hunting it is always mixed emotions...happy for the hunter, but wondering "what if" on your own hunt.

What have you guys seen the "neighbors" get while hunting the same area? Any stories?
what in the wild wild world of sports???

I was hunting Ft Lewis fifteen years ago during rifle season & had a nice clear cut scouted.  I was walking down the gravel road to the clear cut & walked by a guy sitting on a stool under a large evergreen tree.  It was drizzling & he was keeping dry, he was right on the road I walked down.  I talked to him for a minute & listened to him talk about how he had these deer all figured out. I also looked over his Marlin lever action  35 cal rifle with open sights.  It was about two hours till dark & I walked on to my clear cut. I didn't see anything but heard a shot right before dark, sure enough as I walked back to the truck he had a bruiser  4x4 blacktail with eye guards down.  It was a beautiful buck. He had already slit its throat with his marine K bar knife & was going to start gutting it. Guess he wasn't mounting it & said he always "bleeds " them.   I walked away from him the first time thinking he was a knuckle head for sitting there but he showed me. Still the biggest blacktail I have ever seen.   Mike

was stalking this buck during late muzzie this year when I heard a shot about a hundred yards away, I wasn't to upset though becuz the kid that got it was only 17 and it was his first buck

Here's the best buck I've seen taken by someone else while hunting.  My dad and I were hunting together and he thought he saw something white flicker down below us on a ridge.  He actually thought it was a bird that flew threw the timber.  I asked him "are you sure it wasn't a deers ass?".  He said he didn't think so, but we walked down to check anyways.  As we got close to the spot, he said "it was right over there by that opening".  Just then I caught some movement and this buck had his head down on the ground and was trying to sneak out.  I yelled at dad "there's a good buck, shoot".  The deer was only about 30 yards away to start with, and only made it another 30 before piling up.  I couldn't have been happier for him, plus it was his first mule deer and taken with one of those overpriced non-resident Washington tags...

Here's another Washington buck that dad took while I was lucky enough to be hunting beside him.  We spotted it at first light and had to watch for a while before he could get a shot.  I was sitting beside him watching through the binocs as he took the shot.  Another overpriced non-resident tag notched... :chuckle:
