Here's my cheesie pic of my biggest. It attracted quitea crowd at the gas station as word spread of his kill. At the time he was 33 7/8 and is currently #3 for archery in the state. He grosses 194ish if I remember right and nets close to 180.

hogsniper, thanks it was an early spring Alberta bear with an amazing coat, he weighed roughly 300 and that is coming out of hibernation. I do still trap, in fact I am waiting on a permit to trap some beaver near Edwall.

That was a general rifle season buck. It was actually the fastest hunt I have ever been on. I left work at 9pm, went home loaded the truck and drove to the spot I had scouted numerous times before. I crawled into bed at about 1am. The next morning I was out hiking before the sun came up to a ridge I had seen some does and some good buck sign. If you remember the 05 season, it was pooring rain for the first week of the season. I reached the ridge about daylight and it was raining so hard I figured the deer would be seeking cover so I bagged the high stuff to hunt the timber. On my way back down I stopped to glass a small opening with high grass and few trees here and there. Just as I was starting to move on, I saw this guys antler tips just above the grass.. He was bedded under one of the trees. I tried to move around to get a better view and he winded me and bolted. Lucky for me he stopped broadside at about 75 yds to get a last look...boom he was done. I walked over, hooted and hollered, and looked at my watch. It was 9am. My season lasted about 4 hrs. It was awsome and sad at the same time. I had just bagged the biggest deer of my life ( and my first mule deer), but it all happened so fast it didnt leave much for memories of the hunt. Oh well, thats hunting!

I was carrying a homemade longbow I made - arrows I made - arrows tipped with a broadhead I made from a saw blade.
The doe was grazing slowly, unalarmed. My hand / eye coordination, honed by thousands of practice shots figured she was 50 yards away which coincidentally is my point of aim at full draw. I drew slowly, anchored and picked the spot, the release was clean and I watched the red and white feather fletched shaft fly true to hit behind the shoulder just a tad high. She fell right at that spot without taking a step… spined, she dropped like a rock. Not a ‘trophy’ in the grandeur sense. But one of my most satisfying hunts.

1992...I was 22. That was the one of the peak years of all time in the Methow for big bucks. Several 30 inchers were bagged in the general season. No early rut, no early snow, just lots of big bucks running around.

Yeah, I agree. It has 242” of tine length. SCI measures each tine and doubles the paddle length and width. That’s why there is such a spread between B & C and SCO on moose scores. Tine length pushed this one to the world record Shiras Moose by 1.4”.
Boone and Crockett counts points. It only scores 178 B & C. Puts it around #50 B & C last time I looked.

Here's my best mule deer from a size standpoint. My mountain goat isn't an exceptional trophy by size standards but the hunt itself will forever be one of my grandest adventures.
That is a great buck, but just as impressive is the location in your home and, apparently, your relationship with your wife!

Ha, yes, very good lesson on that one. Hunted hard all morning, and never saw a deer. Went for a middle of the day drive, and spotted this buck 525 yards across a canyon with a doe, 30 seconds after I had told my buddy “I wouldn’t shoot one over there if we did see one!”

I’ve had a few friends suggest that, I did my best at scoring since I’ve never done it before and followed the online calculator and came up with 163ish non typical. The taxidermist guessed 160s based on what he’s seen. His mass and eye guards saved him I think (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231121/14eaaff6dd01e4fd3b817fa87bfdc44c.jpg)Definitely this years blacktail, not sure I’ll ever top this for best deer, especially with a bow. Photos don’t really do justice unless next to another buck(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231117/cd79ffd2c089d6d1698235c707dfa7bc.jpg)

Two come to mind, both for sentimental reasons. A blacktail I harvested with a Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage that my grandpa gave me. He had passed away, so it was sentimental to be using the rifle he gave me. I have yet to find another buck that tore up trees like he did. The other one was another blacktail that I packed out whole on my grandpa's bike. He had passed away the previous spring. Both buck were nice mature blacktails and my target bucks for those years.pics !

He said he was following a large spike, lost sight of it, cut over a hill to get in front of where he thought it would be.
As he crested the hill the 5 point was standing 75 yards away looking down hill. Just as he was dropping to brace up to shoot it turned and saw his movement.
He said he pulled up and shot it with a new to him 300 Win Mag he had bought and sighted in a couple months ago. He said it went about 50' and dropped. He hunted with our Grandpa's old 30.06 until this year when he decided to retire it to the safe for now.

I have not been active on the site in quite a few years. Looks like I started this topic back in 2007. Been blessed with a lot of mule deer that top the two I started the thread with. Here are a few of them.nice to see you back! You’ve been stacking them up like cord wood. Nice work!

This is still my favorite deer that I have personally taken, he was actually an 8x9, but the newspaper called it a 6 point, I got it the year after I graduated high school before I got so busy guiding hunters every fall.

WOW! I love this! Thanks for sharing!

There were three bucks like that, I watched them all summer, on the second weekend of early season we found them, they jumped up running straight away, I dropped this one with a texas heart shot, about an inch off dead center of you know what. It was the first time my buddy had ever went deer hunting and he forgot to take off his safety, he couldn't get his gun to shoot. We never saw the other two again and never heard of anyone getting them, I think they died of old age or predators
I took another friend in the same area a couple years later and he got another similar buck, a little younger and not quite as big, but with the same drop points on the end of both main beams, we figured it was off-spring of my buck or at least closely related.

What’s your age estimate on that beaut of a white tail bearpaw? Looks like he may have the ole Roman nose along with the white face.
That was back in my disco days, LOL.
The one dead center in this picture is the Muley buck my dad killed in 1967, 11 by 9 that dressed(guts out) in the low 400’s they estimated him at 13 1/2 years old. It’s the skull mount with the spent casings above the rack. I think I told the story before but we’ve killed 4 huge non typicals in this route, a 13 by 9, an 11 by 7 and a 9 by 8 and this one. All in a 10 year span, all built like government mules, stocky and heavy bodied. Genetics? You bet!👍

I don't know what his age was and didn't even pay attention to his teeth, but he was old and smart, I was lucky to get him. We saw 22 deer that morning while still hunting, saw them all before they saw us, but those three bucks saw us first and jumped up running. I don't know if I could make that shot today, but I used to do a lot of coyote hunting and that refines your shooting skills. He was the heaviest whitetail I've ever seen, of course they don't get as big of bodies here as in the midwest or northeast.
Those are some nice mulies, great that you have your father's deer. I have my father and grandfather's best deer too.

Here’s a few that’s hanging at my son’s place, all family bucks. We have pictures, mounts and plain old antlers scattered over 4 different properties. Some know about the hundreds my great grandparents donated to the Boy Scouts. Yes, hundreds of racks.That is a cool wall :tup:
