Just curious whats the biggest buck you guys have seen while in the woods, and what state? The biggest mulie i have seen was 180s-190s in montana, the biggest whitey i have seen is 170s-180s in WA and biggest blacktail (little)WA. What about you guys?(Pics if you have them)
-
biggest mulie was 21 points one side,Mcloud calif....Placerville for a blacktail,
-
Wife and I jumped a monster whitetail in CRP grass on our family farm, at least 150ish, it was huge. My wife and I were very sad when I did not connect on a running shot. Clean miss on that deer that took off like a bolt of lightning!
-
The biggest NT mule deer was in Idaho last year - 195ish. The biggest typical I have seen was in MT a few years ago. 195" gross typical, 32-34" wide. I have seen several bucks in the 180's in MT, CO, WY, and ID. All of the biggest deer that I have seen were when I had a tag in my pocket!
Logging in N ID, I have seen some giant whitetails. I would estimate that the biggest WT I have seen was 185" gross typical. It was around Christmas on Moscow Mountain. He was eating moss off the trees about 50 yards from me as I was strip sawing. Biggest WT with a tag in my pocket was in WA about 5 years ago. A solid 165" 5x5. 10-11" brows - 23" wide. Great buck. I don't want to talk about that one....... :(
-
Watched a huge deer in the Heppner Unit in Oregon for over an hour. Finally decided it was a doe, since we could see nothing between its ears. We were across a huge canyon. All of a sudden it turned its head. The whole damn brush pile behind him, turned too. My dad and uncle both said that deer would have broken the Oregon NT record, easily. We chased the buck for the next week. Saw him several times, but always way to far away, and he was in a spot there was no way to get to him.
-
I only blacktail hunt so it was a mid 130ish monster that I saw last year in mid august bear hunting in my huntn area in marckworth state forest...I have a pic but I need a scaner to put up the pic... I told you guys id have it on the wall but instead got a 43 b@c 2x2 bt but I put meat on the table...anywho he will be on the wall come october...
-
I have seen some toads in this state, biggest muley was abour 36" 230" non-typical, made my heart about stop, Nov. 12th, 4 years ago in a snow storm, the biggest whitetail about 200" typical, last year while I was setting up stands for the bow season in August, never saw him again. Biggest bucks I have shot, 168" and 189" both with change whitetails.

Got him Sept 2005, Lincoln County, I have 20 acers out there. He was the small one of the two! about 25 yard shot, buddy pushed them both into me, we spotted them on the oposite canyon wall, he gave the cleanest shot. One of these days I will be selling that chunk of land and I plan on putting his pic with it :chuckle:
-
here iste biggest blacktail I'v seen so far.
-
another.
-
Ops here is the picture.
-
He is a little weak in the forks and a bit on mass. This buck was not shot last year so he should put on more mass this year.
-
some great pics BP!
-
That is a STUD blacktail...great shots.
-
The buck below is about as big as I've seen, but I haven't spent much time out of state.

One of my Blackie's upon the wall, but not the largest that I have seen!

Biggest mulie was probaly last November while glassing for my dad during late archery, maybe 170" class, three forks on the left side, don't know how big the right side was, but it had at least 5 points, thought I maybe saw a nice sticker point on the right side when it was going over the top of the ridge at 600 yds, but I don't know if it was or not. Never did find him back. Then have seen a couple other nice mulies, maybe 160" class. Haven't seen much in the way of white tail, off the top of my mind, saw a decent one between Mazama and Wintrhop, just a decent three point. Saw my biggest blacktail last Augest in the high country, he was a long ways away, but I could tell he was fairly heavy, about 22" - 23" wide, and fairly tall, no idea on how many points, didn't have the spotting scope. If I had to guess, I would say he was for sure Pope and Young, maybe B&C, but who knows. :dunno: For sure nice one though.

Just thought of another big blacktail, two years ago, the weekend after I shot my three point muley. I was on a run with my buddy, and we stopped to quick take a look at a mountain bike trail, to see if it had any jumps, and at maybe 50 yds, saw a two by three with two does, but the G2 on his left side came all the way up to normal hight of the other tines, then curved, and came straight back down. The coolest looking deer I have ever seen. He was a pretty deer two, DARK antlers, great cape, he would have been a wall hanger for sure.

22-23 in wa thats a monster damn i'd be hunting for sheds sounds like a monster

this was a buck i chased for several years. he was well into the 200 inch area. this picture doesnt do him justice. cell phone picture through spotting scope on 60 power.

During the 2007 deer season I was siding a house in the graham area that borders Hancock. I had already shot my deer opening morning, so my tag was filled. I showed up to the job site and then my buddy showed up minute later. We were getting ready when we saw a doe pop out of the reprod at a slow trot. Then seconds later a 8X9 with more mass than most the mulies I have seen. My buddy asked me if I had my rifle in the truck and of course I did. The buck was 100 yards away and my truck was between me and the buck. The buck was nose to the ground and could care less about me, so I ran to the truck, grabbed the rifle, and handed it to my buddy. My buddy had not filled his tag, so he pulls up on the buck and can't see a thing because when I shot my buck it was raining like it always does, harder than heck, and I forgot to leave my scope covers open and the glass was all fogged up. My buddy then wiped the glass off and pulled up again, but my buddies dog took off running after the buck and the buck jumped into the reprod never to be seen again. We both guessed the buck was about 24" wide with a perfect 4X4 main frame, two drop tines, tons of mass, and stickers everywhere. My biggest mulie I have shot was 160" and this blacktail was bigger. I also used to live in Ashland, OR where all the blacktails are crossed with Mulie and are monsters and this was still bigger than any bucks I've seen. Fun story to tell, but would have loved to be able to put my hands on that monster.
-
i have seen a few dandys that i call 30-30 bucks over the years been a few since i have seen one.
-
I try to forget about it, but two muleys on the Okie County line were the biggest I've seen in this State, same week within two days of each other. First buck I knew was around from scouting out his rubs a month earlier in the thickest, steepest mess of *censored* I've ever hunted, almost fell off a 80 foot shale cliff in the process when I kicked him and some does and a fork out in front of me at only 40 yards. I hid behind one clump of reprod for what seemed and eternity, until he ran off through a little gap in the woods and I missed a quick shot at him. He cleared the ears on both sides by an easy 4-5 inches. That ruined me but I kept hunting that week. I hiked even further back in the area we hunted then, glassed an open hillside above me and totally missed the biggest bodied deer I have ever seen (after he got up and ran right by me). I don't know how I missed him laying there. He had to be 350lbs and no kidding he tried to run me over and dodged into the tree's at 20 yards away at the last minute, I was shocked a buck would be that bold. The thing I remember most was that the antler's were so thick, I couldn't count points until he was running dead away. at least four on each side but he was non-typical with trash points, could have had at least a couple more points on each side. I packed up and left after that, two days early I just couldn't take it any more. Blowing it twice like that, I've never forgiven myself....

Awsome buck alan :drool:
-
Not the biggest buck I've seen, but pretty close. This is a WA buck.
-
Not the biggest I've seen, but the widest one I've got pictures of. This was before I had a DSLR with a nice lens. They're snaps taken from a Canon GL2 video camera. Washington buck.

No pics but I saw the trashiest monster non-typical I've ever seen just before getting to LaGrande late one night while heading over to Hells Canyon. He came off the side hill, got to the edge of I-84 and my headlights, then turned back. Huge.

some great pics

Easy! The one that got away.. :chuckle:

i just seen my biggest buck :o :o wow very nice.... what unit now?????
-
190-200 class mule deer on the breaks of the snake not too far from Pullman where the CRP meets the Breaks. the friday before the opening of modern season about 15 years ago. Even 6 x 6. kicked him out of a little eyebrow at about 200-250 yards away
150's class whitetail that I missed about 6 years ago on a running shot.
114 5/8 blacktail on my wall.

In 1990, my best firend and I were in college, sharing a trailer and he got a phone call telling us that if we could make it down to Halfway Oregon, his uncle would buy our elk tags. On the 5th day of the hunt, we spotted what we thought was a raghorn bull elk bedded in some sage. We split into 2 groups and did a stalk. My buddies' uncle wound up pushing the "elk" to my buddy and I.
It wasn't an elk. It was probably the biggest mule deer buck I will ever see. We watched him for about 20 minutes at about 100 yards. I won't guess at a score, since I had no concept of field scoring when I was 18 years old, but I will say this:
He had a perfectly symmetrical 5x5 rack, plus eyeguards. I used to carry an old .270 Husquavarna with a short 22" barrel, and I know I could have put the rifle inside the rack and not touched either side. The main beams were as thick as my wrists.
I will never forget that deer as long as I live.
-
This is the biggest one I have a picture of. From my crappy trail cam. We've seen him a couple of times on the hoof, but never more than a glance of tail and antlers... :bash:
-
I was chasing a 190" mule during sept 09'. saw him five days in a row but couldn't beat him and his smaller brother who was in the low 150's im guessing. Guessing he was 26-28" wide and believe it or not he lives in washington! Got a 5 x5 two years prior in the same canyon that measured in the 160's. This one was mucho grande! :yike:
-
Hunting the 2nd Entiat archery season in 2005 I saw my first 200" muley. He was about 100 yrds away and he busted me on a bald knob. When he ran down into the draw he came out on the other side with two other bucks in the 180" range. I just stood there with my jaw on the ground. It was the last day of the hunt :'(

I am 98% I saw this buck 3 years ago when I had a late tag for whitetail. What a stud. I was so depressed after I saw him even though I ended up taking a quality buck the next morning.
-
why would you be depressed about that buck... you cant even hunt mule deer with a late whitetail tag? :dunno:

I'm about 99.9% sure you didn't see this buck in a GMU with a late whitetail tag ;)

No, definitely didn't. Before even 2006 that buck was pushing daisies. :)
-
I think he has a "local name" doesn't he? Been some question about some of his genetics floating around.

Knew I had seen that buck before but it has been awhile so I wasn't sure. Did anyone ever tag that beast or did he just die of old age? COOL deer, I was never luck enough to get any pics of him. Of course back then I never packed a camera. What did his sheds score?
-
Also referred to as the "Horse Lake buck". Last time I saw him he had a pretty bad hitch in his giddy up. Been a few years ago.:(

+1. Either fall 2005 or 2006, can't recall for sure. Never heard of anyone finding his last antlers, or carcass. A few rumors he was poached by natives, but no evidence (this would be poaching if true because he was not typically on "open and unclaimed" lands, mostly was on private). A few rumors he was poached by a local/Coastie/pick your own favorite suspect!

The biggest I have taken a pic of.

That is a toad :drool: :drool:

Nice to see some monter's are still out there!

Here is the biggest in-person buck I've ever seen. I was on a road trip in Colorado and passed by this house in the middle of nowhere. This place had a pool and lots of trees in an area where shade was hard to find. This dude was laid up in this guys garden under some trees. I was able to walk to 10-yards. Can I get an estimate on score from anyone?

Awsome bucks 7mm :drool:

Back when I first started hunting, so this was probably 15 years ago, my dad and I had just got out of the truck and were headed down to walk this trail that went along a creek bottom. We were about half way down there and caught movement running through the trees. If I hadn't known any better, I would have thought it was a horse running through the timber. All we could see was rack and the body as he hauled @$$! We later talked to some guys who said they had seen the biggest buck of their lives. They had a pair of rattling antlers in the back of their truck and they said the buck they saw was probably twice the size of them and the pair was probably 150" set. I just wish we could have got a better look at that whitetail but that is how they get to be that big!

300" whitetail :rolleyes:
I know you didnt literally mean twice the size but I couldnt resist. :chuckle:
Haha I guess I set myself up for that. All I know is he was huge and I can still picture him running through the woods like it was yesterday. What was crazy was the crap he was running through is cat hair thick and he was running at a good clip. Big bucks never cease to amaze me! :bow:
-
That memory will never leave you. I have a bear stuck in my head that will never leave me either. Good thing I didnt kill him I am almost convinced it was a grizz. :chuckle: It gets bigger every time I tell the story. I have a deer like that too. Ahhh nothing like the stories of the ones that got away. We shoudl start a new thread on teh one that got away.
Isn't that what this is...? :chuckle:

Well ive been pretty lucky to get onto a few nice deer, but ive bumped into or had the chance to miss a few monsters...a few years ago i missed the chance to shoot a deer that i had eatting out of my camera that later that year got shot during a special late tag...measured 186 inches :'( ...its all good though....and ive easilly seen a few that would measure closer to the 200-210 inch area...some non-typical, some not...
one year when i hunted in a field with my little brother(i had already shot my deer for the year), we had 2 monster non-typical bucks come out...brothers first year hunting(emptied his rifle shacking like a twig and didnt even come close...) It was just about the hardest thing no helping him take down one of those bucks..but i didnt...deer easilly had over 14-15 points on one side alone...and three eye guards on both side that where atleast 8-10 inches long that kind of spiralled up on eachother....i call them the brothers...wasnt the first time i had seen them....we have history.....had a few chances actually to shoot them...but for some sentimental reason i cant pull the trigger every time i see the twins...ive known them since they where fawns...so i guess in a wierd way it would be like shooting a friend. Someday ill get the nerve to do it, but untill then im happy with what ive been getting instead.
Then there was another time when my papa tried putting a sneak on a monster 180-190 class typical 6x6 whitetail....the mass on him was rediculous and his horns went straight out. He was rutting like crazy...i can remember him running over the hill after he got sppoked and his muscles were shaking like crazy with every step of his body..Dad ended up shooting the smaller buck that was running with the pig...lol...oh well...
Last year i missed my shot at a nice 180 non-typical...me and my brother were sitting in the field when this monster non-typical...probably 8-9 points on each side came running out at a million miles an hour..Thing was gorgeous...got a rest started grunting...then went to whistling...took a shot as he crested the hill to a slow walk, just about to slow down and stop, but he didnt... his 1-2 seconds that he slowed downmoving wasnt enough for me to be able to get a good enough post, my rifle slipped and i totally missed....when i looked up to see why he was running so fast a few guys had come out off the road in the opposite direction and scared him up and out...Buck wasnt stopping for nothing(well except for the next county) ....gorgeous deer...
But just a few hogs ive seen....
-
Still can see this blacktail leaving.
-
Thats a hog BT buckhorn2. Was that in WA?
-
No in Oregon at my daughters house by Roseburg.
