That would make for one REALLY long butcherin' party.  It would take a lot of beer to get all of them cut up.

When Runamuck sees this post she will probably think it's about something else. :yike:
That is a bunch of good looking bucks. Wonder how long it took to cut them up.

Looks like a good time.
For the sake of argument lets say those deer average 200lbs each.
There are 28 by my count, thats 5600lbs, or almost 3 tons...
Holy Cow... :yike:

Wierdest thing I noticed in that picture is that they killed that many deer and couldn't figure out how to hang a single one correctly?  :chuckle:

That pretty much looks like home. I grew up in upper Michigan and the camps are quite impressive. Lots of deer up there. They don't skin them up there because the temp is usually freezing so they let the deer freeze and then skin them as they butcher. The best camp I remember driving by had there deer pole and also clothes lines strung out all over the place. Hanging off the clothes lines were hundreds if not thousands of mice. It looked hilarious.

Yeah I agree with you there shoot-em-dead! My family lives in Petoskey and the surrounding areas and while they don't shoot that many, it pretty much looks like that after the season is over. They have a 300 acre farm so there is plenty of deer to take.

That meat pole would look good in my camp for sure. some horns there.

that should make for real good deer hunting next year at that spot  :bdid: hope they have another spot to go kill all the bucks in. im guessing not and that is the reason theres not a "hog" in the bunch  :twocents:

I don't know if that's neseccarily true.  The midwest is just overflowing with deer.  They are begging people to shoot bucks and does.
Title: Re: Impressive Meat Pole
Post by: littlebuf on December 10, 2009, 07:58:19 PM
I'm sure theres plenty of deer but like the pic shows and another poster said theres no hogs in that bunch. and probably not any where close in those woods either
Title: Re: Impressive Meat Pole
Post by: h2ofowlr on December 10, 2009, 10:05:10 PM
Geeze.  That's some good deer harvest.  They must have 100 acres to hunt on.   :chuckle:  Infestation of bucks.

I'm also from MI and have seen some "buck" poles (not a big fan of "meat" poles) like that.  Maybe not 33 bucks but qite a few.  It could be a ranch where people come pay to shoot not hunt >:(.  You can shoot 2 a year in MI (1 with no size limit). Those are all nice bucks.  You don't see as many "trophy's" there as you do out here.

Here's the story I got from a buddy back in MI, poachers:

Pictures from a DNR raid on St. Martin's Island off of the U.P. on Nov.
19th, 2009.

31 Bucks and 9 Does on the pole, nothing smaller than a 7. Approx. 10 deer, antlers, and heads found around the camp. Also, a smaller mix of bucks and does...

10 deer without tags, another 10 with wives/girlfriends tags.

I have seen several similar hanging poles in Wisconsin and Mississippi...seen that many killed in one property in one day in Georgia but no one combined em like that!

I seriously doubt its a high fence...people from out West always have trouble imagining that could be wild animals taken fairly but do a lil research at the deer numbers in those states versus out here!!  Its a damn big difference!

Also, Im guessing that property produces similar numbers and quality of deer every single year!! They arent scorching the earth or anything! I hunting clubs in Mississippi that have like 400 acres and they will take 30+   120+ B&C bucks off it consistently year after year!

Patton, you may wanna check that statement that we have bigger bucks out here...Im pretty sure Michigan ranks higher than WA in terms of WT B&C entries over the past 20 years!! ya might beat em in highest scoring single buck in a best deer head to head but I wouldnt bet much on that either!

as for the no toads lilbuff...guess thats a matter of opinion...hard to say...I cant see too many racks well enough to score em...lol  ;)

I know if my sole goal was to take a monster WT...and u could pick the spot...theres places in Mich Id pick over the best spots in WA!! If for no other reason than the numbers of deer in any age/size range being higher there!

as for the IMPRESSIVE MEAT POLE title...

Ill be honest...kinda expected to open it up and find that someone had found some rouge pics of LongTat on the net and posted em here :o :drool:

You are right about my statement.  I guess it just seems like there are a lot more big bucks taken out here because there are WT, BT, Mulies and from what I understand as "bench legs". All you got in MI is the whitetails.  So I agree that there are probably more B&C WT entries from MI and higher scoring. Tob be honest, I've never really researched it.  Any mule deer buck looks big to me because I've never really seen them except on TV.  I don't know if that makes any sense, I am just not used seeing so bucks from different species.  I love hunting in MI and so far I love it out here.
