Rules: picture, state, year killed only. More of a picture book than a story book.
We’ll try to pull some of these bucks out of the cracks from guys like Ironhead and Huntinfool. Karl could be sandbagging as well🤣🤣. I know 2many has 2many as well…
We’ll add bucks that got away. Same rules: picture, state, year. Must be hunting season with a tag in your pocket.

I can’t remember if I posted the mount on here or not. I just did it not too long ago. I used my Grandpas and then Dads pack board. He packed his goat off of Pyramid (not Tripod, I was thinking of that buck) with it. Simple, yet one of my favorites.

Not sure if this guy makes 180”, maybe high 70’s? What do you guys think? Had him on camera for a few years and never caught up with him.

Hide and Seek Buck. Glory days of the Methow 92. That was a big buck year. I think the big winter kill was 96 or something like that. There was one more rebound and then a huge slaughter one year in the 2000's and its never completely recovered.

Colorado 2017. Best buck and best hunt experience. If I only kill one 200”er, it’s the best possible way it could have happened.
Is there a thread on this hunt somewhere in the Huntwa coffers?
Post by: jjhunter on January 08, 2025, 02:14:52 PM
JJ do you remember the mass numbers on your Colorado giant?
41”. He’s heavy in places it doesn’t score.
You can see his H4 isn’t crazy and his H3 is smallest at the base of the G-2

Only about 2000 I saw a photo of him in Velvet in July. I couldn’t find him in November. Then he disappeared for 2 months. I figured for sure he was killed…..but while looking for another buck, guess who showed up.(https://hosting.photobucket.com/68034e43-19b7-4de3-9566-c3ba9c52d3f8/b5cfc482-cd41-4504-ad25-6e82149bddb5.png). Probably doesn’t score 180. I’ll leave it to a panel for this one. I wouldn’t care.I wouldn't care either, he's a beast! Thanks for posting !

Only about 2000 I saw a photo of him in Velvet in July. I couldn’t find him in November. Then he disappeared for 2 months. I figured for sure he was killed…..but while looking for another buck, guess who showed up.(https://hosting.photobucket.com/68034e43-19b7-4de3-9566-c3ba9c52d3f8/b5cfc482-cd41-4504-ad25-6e82149bddb5.png). Probably doesn’t score 180. I’ll leave it to a panel for this one. I wouldn’t care.that would be a hard buck to kill.

Bone, is your 178 one the list of archery records here in WA? Thanks for sharing by the way!
Yes, started out as 3rd in the state and stood for quite awhile, now it’s not top ten anymore. The other one is in top ten still.

I know of at least 4 hold outs. They won’t post. I’ve tried every trick. My last ditch effort is to start a thread called “Boomer Bucks”. :chuckle:Boomer story
Boomers out there hoarding America’s wealth and pictures of big bucks 🤣
It all starts o.77 miles from the road,or parking lot.
With a 16 point buck(really a spike)
This thing was lightning,blink of the eye stuff.(Really it stood there)
Then the most accurate 500 yards shot,(really 25)
Blood trail like a river, didn't go 20(really took many shots)
Then drags it across no name meadow's down the backside of nopic mountain.( O.77 miles)
Grinds the horns up with the meat,cause you can eat the horns.
Sorry no pics ,battery dead ,long hike and all.
Boomers Rule! They are awesome 😎

Does anyone know if a drop tine is a genetic thing that can happen on any buck or does that specific gene have to be passed hereditarily? I've seen a few different antler abnormalities on the mountain I've hunted for 35 years. Stickers at many locations on the frame and blade like eye guards but never a drop tine. Lately, it's been just your boring everyday 4 points. Might be time to find another mountain to hunt?

The only thing cooler than a drop tine buck is a double drop tine buck!I’ve only come across 4 drop tine bucks in the last 4 years. 3 mule deer, 1 whitetail. That’s covering a very large area as well. The 2 I had history with or knew of the year before did not have drop tines the year before. One was a young 3 point with a 1” drop on one side. The other one I only got pictures of in June and never found him again. He looked like he was going to grow one on each side but I’m hoping to find him this year. Might be good to start a thread on that.

Based on that info, it's possible that in those years where water, nutrients and minerals are all available in abundance, any buck could have the genetic imprint on his DNA to produce a drop tine.
This is what I'll go forth believing. I don't know how many years I'll be able to keep doing this, but with this belief, getting the boots on, doning the pack and heading out across the hill will be much easier now.

I believe it’s passed down . I have an area by my house that consistently has a drop tine buck around somewhere . Yet just a few miles away in places I’ve hunted for decades I’ve yet to see or get 1 on cam. Same with other features I’ve got 1 area that lacks eye guards or 1 on several bucks , yet everywhere else I hunt I rarely see that . Same goes for huge brow tinesI agree
Double eye guards
Drop times
Seems like they are genetic or specific to certain areas.
Never harvested a drop tine buck.
Have seen a few WT and muley trail cam pics with it.

I've made observations on this for blacktail, and it feels like eye guards and droptines are to some degree a genetic trait IMO. My theory is that with blacktail they typically have so much access to feed, water, and minerals that the abnormalities are either genetic or because of trauma (getting hit by a car). The most unique bucks I've harvested span a 10-year period and come from the same 1-mile radius. Alternatively, 5 miles down the road I see a lot of typical bucks that won't grow eye guards until they hit 4.5+ years old. I did watch one buck on private land that had a crazy left-side abnormality, and he was favoring his right-side when walking. I assumed he was injured during velvet and that factored into the deformed/droptine.

I don’t disagree. I figured it was close. He has a little extra in his mains the photo doesn’t show well, and those extra eye guards pushed it close. The cool thing is it would be net, not gross :chuckle:

That deer makes over 200 gross for sure with change to boot! Lots of change! Look at his bases compared to his facial features and eyes. Look how wide the hunter is stretching his arms to hold him up. He's a "Biggin" as they used to say and wide too! You stretch your arms out and take a measurement and you will see just how wide that buck really is and he doesnt skimp on mass either.QuoteNot.sure where this ones from. Anybody seen it before?

190’s gross is my guess based off the pic, lots of extras but not enough tine length. :twocents:

I figure that buck has good main beams that come towards the camera, so hard to see in that pic. If so, I'm guessing that buck is pushing 220. Quite a bit of junk on that guy. :twocents:That deer makes over 200 gross for sure with change to boot! Lots of change! Look at his bases compared to his facial features and eyes.
