Super frames, with no points,
170-180 frames, but weak fronts or backs
Points that are mismatched and net nothing
Super Mass
Old bald faced mossyhorn
Trash.............

That guys growth went into meat. Holy heck he is a horse.....
-
Great post. Looking forward to the thread.
I hate the very idea of "scoring" deer. Never done it, never will. Kind of grosses me out, actually.
-
I think this buck fits the bill. Gnarly old buck just lame forks. Over 20 inch G 2's!
-
I don't know if I would call this a "great" buck. But if both sides matched, he would nudge 180".
-
He's a lucky deer by the looks of it to. Is that a bullet hole in his right side antler?
-
Absolutely fits the bill! :tup:
THis buck, seen anywhere, by anybody, might just shrug it off. I had tried to photograph him for 3 years, he had reduced in size by way over 50%. He was extremely hard to get on film. He was seconds from wanting to breed this doe is the only reason I filmed him.....
Probably his last year breeding.

This buck turned into an absolute freaking monster. Unfortunately he wouldn't let me film him either once he had been shot at a few times throughout the year. He could still be out there. Maybe we will have a date this fall.

If it is he can't be too lucky. He's posing for a pic showing his good side. :chuckle:

That's cool shot, the doe looks photoshop'd or edited in just floating in the air like the buck is dream of his last good time.
-
How about a whitetail? I think my biggest buck to date fits this bill. Over 23" wide, nice big g3's but NO mass, weak g2's and he just didn't grow g4's. I guess that's pretty typical for a Palouse buck though.
-
Not the biggest frame but OLD!!
-
Wont net , grosses good though .
-
My dad and I seem to have plenty that fit in the thread.
-
One more
-
26" wide, 40" of mass, 159" total.
-
Love this thread....just goes to show that final score isn't everything....I'd drop the hammer on every single one of these!
-
Yes, we think that is a bullet hole. I have wondered if that's what caused the droop too??
-
I bet that rung his bell. :yike:
-
Not a buck there I wouldn't shoot.
-
I bet that rung his bell. :yike:
Probably pissed that hunter off to no end. I'd bet the deer dropped hard, hunter celebrated and looked back to see his "dead" deer bounding away.
-
Wont net , grosses good though .
Nets are for fish. Love this buck!
-
Is he missing an eye?
-
26" wide, 40" of mass, 159" total.
I just love the heavy boned bucks :tup: :tup:

These are all awesome bucks! Maturity means way more to me than score!! I agree with a lot of you guys on here, any one of these bucks finds themselves in my scope and they're getting shot at

I don't know if my Tucannon buck qualifies as a great frame but he does have real weak fronts. I think some better g4's would have really helped.
25" wide, he was 150".
-
Here's a cool buck. Trashy bases. Missing tine length.

-
I shoot "old, tired and regressed" in about two seconds! That is a cool buck
-
Jakelope-
I Love that buck. He is just a good looking animal with great shape.
-
Score doesn't mean much to me, I prefer a buck with mass, even if it has short points.
I helped my brother get this buck on his late tag, he passed it the first day but I was able to convince him it was bigger than what he thought. Like a lot of guys he was hung up on width and a perfect frame.
Long story short, its a main frame 4x4, has a 3" and a 5" point and still scores 170", right at 40" of mass, 5 7/8" bases. :tup:
-
Score doesn't mean much to me
Obviously!! :chuckle:
-
Another for this category.
-
Here's another, 29.5" width, good mass, just no points! All in all a great buck, just lacking in score.
-
And my Daughter's 28" 4x5.... Again a beautiful buck, but no mass. :dunno:
-
Beautiful deer all. This thread just reinforces my belief that scoring antlers is a stupid practice. Awesome animals.

-
This is a grayback buck my buddy shot in 2011. Big ol' 2x3!
-
Washington Mulie Buck that I shot in 1993
-
The one in my avatar. Old, very big bodied buck. He's got mass at the bases and most the way up, but he's not wide enough and has week backs not enough overall length. I'd shoot him every year for the rest of my life and be quite happy.

-
This is a huge bodied muley taken by my trail camera up NE during the late archery whitetail season. Any guess as to how wide he is? He won't score very well because he's wider than his main beams are long and that back fork is small. I think his body size even makes the rack look smaller. I saw him once in person going away from me and his rear quarters are dang near 3 ft wide.
-
Here's another great looking buck that netted 173. He has a 31" inside spread but that back fork killed his score.

I think this one fits the description 26" with short backs. Seems to be a trait where he came from.

I've seen a lot of Entiat bucks that have that same gene.

Chelan county gene for sure.

Character beats score any day.

Ain't nothin but a 3 point....31 1/8 wide...

I think I like this thread better then the 180 thread. I love character!!!
sent from my typewriter
-
A couple more
-
Definitely could have scored better, but I think it is a great buck. Best I have ever shot. :tup:
-
Mine would fit I'd say. Good mass to thee tips. Not very wide with weaker forks. I was happy all the same.

Here is some that fit.
-
A couple of muleys...neither scores well...my Dads buck was old and had a decent frame...just no points (top pic). My buck would have been a really good one in a year or two...but i couldn't wait :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
24" wide , 5 3/4 bases . Probably doesn't score 130.
-
This is a cool thread, lot of great bucks!
-
Found another
-
That guys growth went into meat. Holy heck he is a horse.....
:yeah:
-
First buck is a big 3pt i kick myself for telling my father in law not to shoot. Ended up not tagging out.
Second buck was a long ways off and noway to stalk, big heavy wide 4pt with no tine length.
-
Pretty crabby
-
More good bucks....I'd have shot every one of them.
-
gets my heart pounding for sure!
-
This thread proves how rare it is for a hunter to find a true 180 buck in their sights. Even a 160 is a trophy, and there's not a lot of people that will scoff at a 145" buck.
-I am a meat hunter. Not a trophy hunter. But it sure would be nice to come across a really big buck before I die.
-Steve
-
More Chelan Co. genetics...
-
Nice mass Limits, congrats. :tup:
-
Found another
By far my favorite buck in this thread.
-
Good mass, height and back forks but narrow and crab clawed.
-
Shot this buck in Eastern Oregon muzzle loader. Good looking buck, just doesn't score well, I think it went 158"gross.
[smg id=362]
-
This one fits the thread for sure....atleast the "don't score diddely" part.
-
My Wife's biggest buck, 24'' wide, big body, pretty mature buck, just over a 100 in score.
-
Wont net , grosses good though .
My 2011 archery buck is configured very similar to this buck. There are certain bucks that B&C net score just doesn't do justice too. I've displayed my 2011 archery buck next to some of my Montana bucks and 90+ % of my buddies say its the buck they'd shoot if all the bucks were in a group yet after deductions some of the Montana bucks score higher. IMHO, Boone and Crocket's scoring is flawed in some ways. The best example of this is the Mundy buck which is over 49" wide and scores 288+ B&C. It also has the largest gross typical frame of any buck ever entered into B&C meaning if he didn't grow all the extras and you simply compared apples to apples he would destroy the Burris buck which is the current WR holder. I seems silly to consider a buck a world record when you can put another buck next to it and everyone would shoot the non record buck. I think nontypicals should still be able to be entered typical at there gross typical frame score.
-
Just found this topic, enjoyed looking at all the bucks.... :tup:
-
awesome thread woulda pulled on every single buck !
-
all three of these bucks fit the thread :chuckle:
bottom pic s the middle buck from the first pic
-
Huge, pig body, mature buck with no rack to match :'(
-
Not really as great bucks as some of the others...but a few that when you seen them from a distance you get excited untill you see them up close. definitly like the bucks with age and mass on them little bit of trash thats an old man of the mountain I still havent photgraphed one that really qualifys, some that are close.
-
almost forgot this guy...he has a little mass
-
Here's one.

Here's a big bodied buck that fits the bill.

that 2 point is *censored* !

I always wondered why you would want one of the 2x2 only special mule deer tags they give out. That answers my question. Sure would be an interesting rack to have.
-
The year I had the 2x2 tag the only big 2 point i could find was over 30" and his main beam out out and up rather than out and forward ( kind of hard to explain) and he had little 5 or 6 inch times that came straight forward so when he looked at you he only looked like a spike. The guy that had control of the land he was on wouldn't let me go in and shoot him. One of those really dude you nor anybody you hunt with can shoot him so all he is going to do is continue to breed and spread bad genetics.

He didn't break 160", but he had the biggest body of the bucks I've killed. I am sure that he is at least 5, maybe older. He was actually bigger the year before, but was a 3X4.

I would have to shoot all of the deer on here is given the chance...and a tag that would allow it. Those big two points are great but not legal during late archery where I hunt.

Thats why each muley unit should have a couple late tags dedicated to a two point restriction. :tup:

That is a great idea, you could give out 10-15 tags, have only the people that are interested in taken out the 2point gene in the units they hunt. Success would maybe be 10-20%, so 1 or 2 deer. I see quite a few 2pts in my late hunt but only 1 or 2 that I would like to take out. I am thinking most with that tag would pass on the dink 2pts, if you are hunting those late hunts generally you a looking for a masher or something with character.
I like the idea a lot.

That is a great idea, you could give out 10-15 tags, have only the people that are interested in taken out the 2point gene in the units they hunt. Success would maybe be 10-20%, so 1 or 2 deer. I see quite a few 2pts in my late hunt but only 1 or 2 that I would like to take out. I am thinking most with that tag would pass on the dink 2pts, if you are hunting those late hunts generally you a looking for a masher or something with character.
I like the idea a lot.
i would like to see it, but limit it to 2 tags per unit and make it a youth hunt, give the kids a chance to take part in a trophy hunt at a young age and get hooked, and since a adult would obviously need to be there it would also show adults that they don't necessarily need to have a tag in their own pockets to go out hunting and have a good time.
-
The only bad part is you run into people who don't shoot the mature two points that are the bad ones to have. They will shoot any old two point. We watched a guy shoot a little dink two point last year clearly not a mature two, bad part is he only wounded it an it crossed a fence into ground he didn't have permission and instead of going and asking for permission to retrieve the wounded animal he just left. They would almost have to turn these into a can hunt to monitor what two points are being taken or do like some places for moose make a width minimum.

You explain what the tag is intended for, no different than educating cougar hunters the difference between male and female.
No different than permit holders shooting young 3 and 4 points.
-
They do explain it. The send a big letter saying only shoot mature two points it even has pictures for the people who don't want to read. It is different than the people who shoot immature three or four points if you only give one or two tags. Say those two people shoot immature two points then what's the good in giving that tag out when the purpose of the tag is to get rid of bad genes.
-
score doesn't matter.
-
If I believed that, I'd be a lot more successful. :chuckle:
-
The B&C and P&Y thing has always seemed strange to me. Watching a young buck or bull develop, certain shapes, character and how the critter handled itself always 'scored' far more than measuring inches with me. The number kinda diminishes what may have happened along the way.

Awesome bucks on this thread :tup:
I think my biggest BT fits this thread.

I would take that blacktail over any mule deer....but I am that kind of guy.

I did look at all of the pics and have been watching this thread all along and didn't catch that the side view buck was the same buck that was posted front view two weeks ago. Good catch link, way to keep everyone on their toes. I am going to keep my eye on Bone that sneaky son of a gun posting different pictures of the same deer weeks apart just to keep his thread going. :chuckle:
Love the photos, it is a great thread.

These deer are so great... the more I see, the less I like scoring, and I hated it to begin with...
-
I was really into it for awhile, now I could really give a rats butt. I still get offended (no idea why, pet peeve maybe) when people stretch the tape. I think I just like to keep it real. I think the critters in this thread show that you can have an awesome buck and score doesn't mean diddely, so why "fish tape" it
-
I agree. I have never shot anything that I would think would score well at all, just because of size.
I think that even if I shot a monster, I probably wouldn't have it scored. Its not about the score, its about the animal. I think when you reduce it to a number, and are happy or not based on that number, you've just lost the meaning of the hunt and respect for that animals life. :twocents:
-
Good thread. There is a couple of meaty bucks in this thread that don't get the recognition of being good bucks just because of horn configuration. Their still good ole smart bucks. Even more so than some of the Grinch that stole Xmas dog with the antlers tied on and the antlers teetered the pooch type of bucks that have almost perfect symmetry. That first one was an arnold.

Take your pic they are all pretty good but wouldnt score didley lol

8 pages in and as a bow hunter there is not one of these that I would pass on if I had it in my sights.

Why even mention score if you don't go by the one that really counts. That buck has a real weak side a short back and an extra on the other side. Old, heavy, miss matched points, short point and a low net. If that doesn't meet your criteria I will remove it. But I know there are several other bucks on here that are right at the 180 gross mark. Nets are for fish and gross scores are for bucks that don't have a good net score....... Right?
-
:yeah: i dont understand how you can make up your own scoring criteria. I agree that net scores shouldnt count, that being said if it wasnt for record books, scoring wouldnt exist. So might as well follow the criteria. B&C as well as P&Y dont think nets are for fish :twocents:
-
ok.
This isn't my thread and I couldn't care less who posts what in it. I personally believe in giving the buck credit for what he grew. I also couldn't care less about records books.
Maybe I should have posted that instead of "nets are for fish".
Trailtamer, if I ever kill a buck as big as yours, I'd crap myself. You should be proud of that buck. Sounds like you're discrediting it, pointing out all of his flaws.
Carry on.

How about a whitetail? I think my biggest buck to date fits this bill. Over 23" wide, nice big g3's but NO mass, weak g2's and he just didn't grow g4's. I guess that's pretty typical for a Palouse buck though.

I think this is a prime example of a great 'good ole boy', but that won't score well at all. I'd love to see him from the front. (Or broadside for a shot!) But the symmetry is all off. Great mass but no width or fork lengths.
I know this thread compares bucks that are less than the coveted 180 range, but a 160 buck is above average in Washington, and most people will be quite proud of a 145. -And a 145 can certainly be a great buck, that doesn't score 'diddley'.
IMHO. If you've got a buck that's above 160, It probably shouldn't be in this thread. We've all seen wide bucks that are spindly. We've all seen tall bucks that aren't wide or have no real mass to them. Once in a while we see some freak that just doesn't look right.
