Another great buck Bone :tup:. How many PM's do you get a year for locations of the deer you photograph :chuckle: ?
If you buy his calendar the GPS coordinates are in it, you just have to,know how to read it, kinda like Where's Waldo. ;)

That doe looks shopped!? :chuckle: :lol4:
Totally..lol
If we all didn't know bone better we'd believe it. Just shows the difference between a big mature buck and a young Doe. But damn what an Awesome buck!

The doe was out in the light and he was in the shadow. I brightened the image so you could see him thus really popping her. So in a way, yes photoshopped, but not like you guys are thinking. Thank you.

Got him! Dang I feel successful, lol. Went back to the area today. Chased a few other bucks. Kept a lose eye on the patch he was seen in. Nothing. We were about to pull stakes, but I wanted to Che k this little pocket I just knew he was in. I was so confident, I left my camera at the truck with the Mrs. I'd been carrying it all day. Slipped up over the edge and sure as heck, there he was standing broadside at 20 yards. I whipped around and headed up my back trail. Got to the truck and grabbed the camera and the Mrs. And hiked back to him. I figured he would be gone. We slipped up to the brim and peered over. Nothing! Then he exploded from under my feet. Thankfully he turned around to take a look. This time I got the 2x on and shot him up. Man I was jacked! Just as good as notching a tag.

That buck has a nice frame but I'm not really seeing a world class buck? Maybe it's just the pics?Ya, he'd score about 140. Sometimes there is more to a monarch than score though. To each his own.

Because I'd kill him in the Kiabab, Sonora, Alberta, the Pauns, in 45, the Henry's, anywhere I had a tag. Bases like that, eye guards, his age, size, square frame. The way he acts. I wouldn't care if he was a forkie. Old recessed buck. Old gray ghost.

Thanks for the response on why you think it's a world class buck.
I feel like a world class buck is one any hunter anywhere would target. And most hunters aren't going to target that buck in any of the places you listed. It's an old regressed buck. Lots of old regressed bucks get killed every year. Nothing world class about them.

We get it.....your wall is filled with world class bucks Branden. Some of us hunters consider lesser bucks (in your eyes) world class. I am super glad we all feel differently about what world class is.....otherwise we would all be chasing the same deer. ;) I think you made your point loud and clear....you would not kill a deer of this caliber as it is below you. Rather than throw stones and then be passive agressive by saying thanks and regards.....just post pics of some of your world class bucks so the forum can enjoy your post as much as they enjoy bones. :tup:

I never said I wouldn't kill it. I said I wouldn't kill it on any of the world class units bone listed. Big difference. I also said its a mature buck. I just think the thread title is very very misleading. World class means among the best in the world. Sorry that deer doesn't have the most mass, tine length, width, anything to make it among the best in the world.
Again it's a mature buck, but nothing about it is "best in the world or among best in the world".
I posted video of some bucks and bulls I've seen this year. None were "world class" though. ;)

Bone, are you sure those pix are of the same buck? The first one the antlers look way darker, of course that might be from lighting. But the brow tines also seem smaller on the first picture. Different angles, but the first one they look uniform and the second one, one has a pretty noticeable curve and one has a big lump on it. I was thinking maybe you found two nice bucks.
Looks to be the same buck to me. :twocents:

I agree with you Bone, the square rack does it for me. If I had an ideal mule deer rack it be as tall as it is wide and SQUARE, with great brow tines and thick/trashy bases. Couldn't give one crap about the score.
