Title: Gagger!!!
Post by: Lowedog on February 01, 2010, 12:50:15 PM
Got to hold these in my hands today.  Found in an orchard by one of the pruners.  Didn't get a chance to score them but hopefully I will.  Just guessing I will say he goes over 200" gross

wow! i wonder how many people know about him? i would expect a buck like that to have been noticed before... especially if he's hangin around (wintering) down in the orchards. someones gotta have pics!!! bone, you been holdin out on us?  :chuckle:
Title: Re: Gagger!!!
Post by: Lowedog on February 01, 2010, 01:32:32 PM
I hadn't heard any talk of him this winter.  I think he managed to go pretty much undetected.

WOW man thats outrageous!   I'd have choked on my pruning shears and def fell off a ladder, maybe twice.  So did you can the pruner for horn hunting on the job and then confiscate the antlers.  :chuckle:   Its amazing he went undetected in this day and age.

If anyone had a pic of him I thought it would be you Bone.

Where was the sheds found. Not the GPS coordinates but the region.

WOW, That is huge.

By far!  I have a couple of singles that are close to this guys typical side but nothing close to the NT side.  

WOW man thats outrageous!   I'd have choked on my pruning shears and def fell off a ladder, maybe twice.  So did you can the pruner for horn hunting on the job and then confiscate the antlers.  :chuckle:   Its amazing he went undetected in this day and age.

The guy who owns them at the moment is the boss of the guy who found them.  He traded the guy a pack of smokes for them.   :chuckle:  The way I understand it they were laying right together in the middle of the orchard. 

I'm going to see if I can stretch a tape on them tonight.  The mass is unbelievable.  I'm going to say right around 205" gross.

awesome sheds!!!!! With all the orchards we got i have never found a set like that!!!! I usually just find trespassers!! Congrats!! Great to see a buck of that caliber elude everyone.
Title: Re: Gagger!!!
Post by: boneaddict on February 01, 2010, 04:29:07 PM
I'm very critical of scores usually, but I have no problem with those being 200+.  That animal literally has it all and is obviously smart.  That right there is the stuff that ALL dreams are made of.

Hey Garrett, if you had sheds like that in your orchards I might start trespassing. LOL (kidding)

Post by: hirshey on February 01, 2010, 07:15:04 PM
Wow! Amazing animal! Would have loved to get some photos with those still on his head! Hope he continues to outsmart for a few more years just to maximize his gene input! :)

PS - Garrett: going shed hunting tomorrow if you're interested.

Hey guys, I was hiking the other day and left a pretty nice set of muley sheds in an orchard.  Just curious if anyone has seen them.  I'll buy anyone who finds them a carton of smokes and pay the shipping to get them back.  :dunno:

Seriously, would these be the property of landowner, or Pruning Boss (or are they the same). This could get ugly. Nice bone. I probably would have tripped over them.

Title: Re: Gagger!!!
Post by: mountainman on February 15, 2010, 11:21:01 AM
Floating around on quite a few phones, not sure who trailcammmed it, definetly same deer.
Title: Re: Gagger!!!
Post by: tlbradford on February 15, 2010, 11:44:13 AM
That is a perfect buck in my opinion.  What a find.  Good to know that a deer with those genes is living to a ripe old age and spreading those genetics around.
