this was my best archery buck. We named him Pee Wee. Tall and narrow buck.

ABQHUNTER · Jan 28, 2020

09-09-19 was a day I’ll never forget! 17 long hot days on the Arizona Strip and the buck finally made a mistake! 57 yard shot and he finally hit the ground!

hornkiller · Jan 28, 2020

That's a very sweet buck!

Montana OTC. I’ve posted this before lots of times but it still makes me happy.

wapitiman · Jan 29, 2020

Finally got it done on the last morning of the hunt. It took me about 15 hunting days and several misses to seal the deal. I just told my wife that it was better to kill on the last day of the hunt instead of early on. By missing it allowed me to hunt longer and the pressure to build. She loved that plan.

wapitiman · Jan 29, 2020

Same plan with this deer... Same plan and story with this buck. Sealed the deal on the last day of the extended archery. Hunt as much as you can.

wapitiman · Jan 29, 2020

Different plan this year. Sealed the deal on the first day instead of the last. Couldn’t wait on him and cut my season short. Worth it though.

Posting for my friend, Frankie Cheeney. Not interested in the "contest" aspect, but this buck was taken by an "average Joe" hunter. He almost didn't take the shot, thinking of all the times he'd not been successful. His son talked him into the "try". What a ride it was for him and his family and friends- #1 World Record Pope & Young Nevada mule deer buck! (There are probably bigger and more eye-catching bucks, but this guy is all about near-perfect symmetry and deep forks!)

I was fortunate enough to be on the special panel to verify this buck as the world record....great typical!

sneakem · Feb 4, 2020

Not my biggest archery deer, but a great day closing out a season with an OTC deer on the last day with a great friend... definitely 4th and goal from the 20 yard-line.

xitnet · Feb 4, 2020

Harvested in 2007. So far it's still the Texas state record non-typical archery buck. Scored a little north of 221 with 15 points. Typical 10 point (sorry, I'm a Texan) with five nice in line points.
Saw him through the spotting scope around 8 AM in the sand hills and started my stalk. Finally got the shot around 12:30. Crawled up to 27 yards of where he was bedded in some tall sunflowers. The wind was blowing and very gusty. Tried to whistle him up but he couldn't hear me through the blowing sunflowers. Set him out for a long time until he stood up. Made a quartering away shot and I could watch him run for several hundred yards before he gave it up.

2015 Colorado archery season. I Hunted him for 3 years before getting a shot. It was an awesome ride!

SDBugler · Feb 5, 2020

He is pretty small compared to most posted so far, but he is my largest archery buck. Shot him opening day of the 1999 season. It was the South Dakota #8 P&Y at the time.
