pic #2, lower, the deer is not gutted, guy has on his orange and gloves
pic #1 top, orange is off, gloves off
so he got it out whole? repositioned it and took more photos, maybe.
But the left crab claw is different, or really appears to be different in each photo.. :twocents:
It is no doubt a nice buck, but someone who got ahold of the photo may have enhanced it a bit..

It took me about 3 minutes of web surfing to find these pics also, hope this satisfies everyone.yeah but those 2 pics are obviously taken in 2 different spots and whats up with the guy being in plain clothes in the 2nd pic and that deer has no hair either. i call BS. it was probably killed at the walmart with a blow dart.

Still a nice buck, but the left crab claw looks different, just my :twocents:
Guess I'll just say I disagree with ur two cents... If you still want to send me pics that have been shopped, along with pics that have not I'll try my hand at 'em...

It's not shopped. It's a legit buck and was taken in Colorado this year. There are a number of viable reasons why the pics in the original post are a bit different as far as the brush, angle, clothing, etc are concerned. I don't personally know the guy so I can't ask...we can only speculate.
BEAUTIFUL buck!! I'd have to retire from Mule Deer hunting after that because it would be near impossible to top that beast!

Yep, Its all downhill from there.

Thats me and the deer I shot this year at Fort Spokane state park :chuckle:

Geez....it never fails. Someone posts a buck of a lifetime and the "shop" comments start flowing.
This is why there are members on this site that wont post pictures of their trophys. :(

"The buck was living in a subdivision within the city limits of Glenwood Springs with several other very big bucks. The live photos were taken from a vehicle on one of the main roads in Glenwood Springs. You could see the bucks just about any time you drove by and residents were worried that someone would poach them. Word got out and the Governors tag holder ended up killing the buck. I guess now everyone is trying to figure out how he killed it since it spent all or at least most of its time within the city limits."
I don't know anything about this deer except for what my buddy said in his email. I think he also said that the buck and story were on MM. I hope this story proves to be untrue. What an incredible buck!!

1. he's thinking "someone will say this photo is shopped".
2. "this deer is tame, I'm a POS" or "someone is going to accuse me of shooting a pet"

Now on the subject of this being a possible swingset buck, i will wait until we have hard factual evidence..
Post by: actionshooter on December 04, 2009, 09:07:50 AM
This is the kind of buck that dreams are made of!! I received these pictures about two weeks ago from a buddy in Colorado. This is what he had to say.

Thats how I got the pics, I have a buddy who lives not too far from where it was taken, didn't tell me the story though. That would be sad if its true.

I have 2 uncles and my grandma have houses / property in that area. Talking with them the other day they said a huge tame buck that you could walk up to was shot near his house out of season and that it was big.. My uncle thought it had to be poached as he is not the type of guy who keeps up on gov tags.
My grandma said that it would not even run out of the yard when you walked to the car. Just look at you and keep eating apples.
I am going to show them the pics of this buck when I am over there this week ( my grandma has taken a 200in deer and ejpoys watching the town bucks) and see if it was the same buck and reserve judgement until then...
But I have to say that hell I have 2 rutting here around my house that would go close to 200 and you could walk out with a bow and they would just look at you and give you a nice 20yd or so shot..
Hunting tame towm bucks is so lame.. Shows how lazy some of these gov tag holders are.. I mean if you can hunt the entrie state all year and have to shoot a towm buck that is some grandma's pet.. This type of crap if true is why so many people look at hunters the way they do.

Sounds like I was telling the truth....? Or maybe all these people just have the same delusions I do...? I saw the buck almost every day. I know that he stayed in an area that he would never have ben shot, but on NOV. 13 a dog chased him three does a two by two and another big deer off of the ground above Cardiff Glen and onto this private ground (that is really too close to a sub-division to be rifle hunting). I have pic's of him standing in the Cardiff Glen sub-division, on the 12th. I spent 20 min. inside of 20 yards of him that day, has was so rutted up and used to people he didn't care at all about me. This type off crap gives guy's that hunt hard and fair a really bad name.
and the post of the day IMO::

Awesome buck, but at the same time this story is a sad commentary on the current state of hunting. It is ALL about the antlers. To many hunters that is absolutely ALL that matters. Whatever it takes to get the biggest buck, bull, ram, etc. No matter how ethical it is, how fair it is, or even how legal it is, people will cross any line to get the biggest animals. Sad to see.

I hear you guys, but how many big bucks are seen within 1/4 mile of Wenatchee or Okanogen? Or Winthrop or Twisp this time of year? I kinda doubt the buck was 'tame' but they do get pretty docile this time of year and seem to loose their sense of fear of ppl on the winter range... If a 200"+ buck was seen around Wenatchee, don't you think a raffle/gov tag holder would've gone to investigate and possibly harvest the buck?
Michael
Pretty sure it has happened before already :chuckle:

Pretty sure you're right! lol I watched that buck too!
If the hunter is happy with the way he killed it and it was done legally, then why is everyone in an uproar? Most making bad comments do not even know for sure what is the right story about the buck. Until there is evidence (not heresay) I would like to congratulate the lucky hunter...That is a fine buck.... :twocents:
X100 well said!
