Title: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: huntnphool on January 07, 2009, 08:10:40 PM: Be honest, nobody is going to know, I just thought it would be fun to see what the average is for the members on our site. Post your gross score only, nets are for sturgeon fishing, right Bone :chuckle:
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: Red Dawg on January 07, 2009, 08:17:28 PM: i wish I could answer. My biggest was last years buck by far but I have no idea what it scores. I might have to look into that. I dont think he would score very high though.
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: huntnphool on January 07, 2009, 08:18:50 PM: It doesn't matter Red Dawg, its just so everyone can see that the average is much smaller than people think.

Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: BC CHASER on January 07, 2009, 09:00:06 PM: The 130 was with my bow. Yeah FIFF's dropper is a great buck and his 5X5 from this year is a good one too. I will call him and tell him to get his scores on here. Some of my favorites dont make the book or come close. Some day I will get a 200'' muley a 180'' whitey and a 160 BT. All from here. ;) :IBCOOL:

Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: mossback91 on January 08, 2009, 12:09:55 AM: that biggest deer I ahve seen question makes me cry!! :'( I had a hellacious muley that went over 30 inches in velvet at about 75 yards and I got one terrible picture of him in the trees and then the batterys died!! :'( gives me nightmares still and its 2 years later....not to mention i couldnt hunt him hard because of the terrain he was in and the fact that i was on crutches!!
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: runniNgunnin on January 08, 2009, 12:18:47 AM: that gives me the funniest picture in my head, lol
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: Red Dawg on January 08, 2009, 05:11:34 AM: miles-unlimited
biggest I have seen was this year riding my horse, I had with no question a 190+ inch typical bench buck at 10 yards two days after deer season was over and my camera was stuck in my saddle bag and could not get it in time. His forks were an easy foot long and he was a square 28 wide.
My smallest buck would be a 2 point.
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: jdb on January 08, 2009, 06:28:08 AM: my biggest is a benchlegger I killed in klickitat county that goes just over 130" I also have a forked horn that scores 117" funny thing was fior years I thought if I could just kill a 130 class buck I'd be happy, Now I think if I could just kill a 150 class buck I'd be happy. smallest was a spike I killed blackpowder the last year you could kill spikes. and there is no limit to how far I'd go for a trophy.

Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: PacificNWhunter on January 08, 2009, 08:04:09 AM: 100-109 for me. All blacktails for my biggest and smallest, still out to get my first muley.

Post by: woodywsu on January 08, 2009, 08:07:26 AM: 161 - First buck when I was 13. No field photos. I do have the mount at my house.
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: rasbo on January 08, 2009, 08:10:42 AM: I have shot some nice ones,but never worried much about scoring.nothing over 29 inches.
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: croix on January 08, 2009, 08:30:17 AM: By biggest only measures at 129 and some change - but it's a blacktail with a 21" inner spread.
Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: huntnphool on January 08, 2009, 02:23:31 PM: Glad to see everyone os being honest, this is about what I figured the results woudl be. If you haven't voted get on here and do so. There is no reason why this poll shouldn't have 2000 votes.

By the way, I want to see a pic of the 200"+ buck someone got :yike: Maybe Garretts dad or Matt got on here and voted :tup:

Post by: luvtohnt on January 08, 2009, 03:32:14 PM: Big Fat ZERO. I am still empty handed on deer. I think my mistake was that I started with archery and had to learn by myself. My dad is disabled and couldn't teach me what he learned in Wyoming when he was a kid!! How's that for honesty.

Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: 300UltraMagShooter on January 08, 2009, 05:12:10 PM: Don't worry, your turn will come. I have hunted a long time and only got one good one. The rest have been dinks, especially since I move to Washington and had to learn all over.

Post by: Ricochet on January 08, 2009, 11:48:24 PM: I'm no super-hunter, all I can claim is that Lady Luck smiled on me and I tagged this 210+ buck. Here you go mossback91 and huntnphool. For the record, its an Oregon buck taken with my 54 cal. muzzy.

Title: Re: Your Biggest Buck (poll)
Post by: Ricochet on January 09, 2009, 06:04:09 PM: Thanks guys for your kind comments. Its definitely the same gene pool (yep, its a Juniper buck). We've seen several bucks down there with the forked cheaters, just nothing big since "Babes" best year. Here's a screen shot from some video I captured of Babe back in 2005. I'd say he's related to my buck, don't you think so?

(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb60%2Frenegade54%2FIMGA0253.jpg&hash=95369727ead96be6972ea0d8d9ed24a7b53d1b19)

The locals say the buck Cameraguy posted the pick of is the same buck, but I'm not sure. This is what Babe looked like last year. He's definitely regressing.
