Title: Re: Your best deer/elk of all time
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on August 18, 2011, 06:34:20 PM: I have never hunted elk. 150+ continues to elude me (except on trail cam, while scouting, just out of range, not presenting a good shot and a million other lame excuses). This is one of my largest (148 3/8 gross). I have another one that will gross the exact same (and taken off the same stand). This stand used to be a for sure thing for 140-150 bucks on any given year. The heaviest rut activity I have ever witnessed happened in this area yearly. This one was taken in 06' and there were three pope & young class bucks taken off what we call the "honey hole stand" that year..all 140 class bucks. The next year my wife killed her first 140 whitetail off that stand and I passed up several bucks that were in the 140's because I was after a 160 buck. In 08' they clearcut the land surrounding this property and things haven't been the same since.

Title: Re: Your best deer/elk of all time
Post by: Snapshot on August 18, 2011, 08:10:14 PM: I am not sure it was a spike blacktail when my new son-in-law was watching over my shoulder, or a 3x4 mulie that my oldest brother released on at the same instant...it could have been the button buck I killed when I was just 12 years old; my first big game ever that was never recoreded on camera because "He's just a yearling," I told my dad...or the whitetail doe thirty-five years later that took ten hours to recover...Those are among the "best" archery deer hunting feats I've experienced.

The bulls, however, have eluded me...[sigh]

My best blacktail, scored something like 12. It was a forked horn that had broken both antlers off at the fork making it a spike. :chuckle:

The rack is huge, but so is the body look at his head and the neck.. Funny story behind this buck, we were in our stands, I saw this guy about 80 yards away but didn't notice how big it was, just thought ehh a nice deer. So when we got out of our stands my dad wanted to call it a day and head home, I was like wait a sec, I saw something over in the trees that way. "looked big." so we headed over there, setup and we could here the deer thrashing around a bit. Dad let out a grunt and he charged in to 8 yards. We both pulled back and it was a race to see who could let their arrow fly first. My dad beat me :chuckle:. Would have been my first buck! But hey he earned it, hes been hunting for about 30 years now, and this buck was his dream come true.

It was a heart shot at 8 yards! officially a 5x4, but has two little kickers that arguably make it a 6x5. Had it not broken one of its eyeguards, and those kickers had another 8th inch it would have been a 6x6!

Another funny story, In the same exact area, a few weeks later, I tagged my buck. It was a forked horn that had broken off both antlers at the fork making it a spike. One eye was completely poked out and sealed up, and it had a 3 inch gash on its chest and was limping pretty bad. I think he tried to take on my dads buck before he was tagged. A fight my buck probably shouldn't have even tried.

Really nice buck and a cool story too. Thanks for sharing it. :tup:
