In what state did you take your biggest buck? Did you get him with your archery hunting gear? Muzzleloader? Or rifle?

As always, share a picture or two. Those are always fun to see.

JakeH · Mar 28, 2021

Colorado for me, but have 2 Utah bucks that are only a few inches smaller score wise. and a New Mexico buck that is only a few inchs under those.

Stillwater165 · Mar 29, 2021

Yet to be mounted , my 2005 Wyoming buck on the right , 26 in wide and heavy enough but score .... not much lol ! Buck on the left is my sons Nebraska buck. Both DIY public land. Nothing special but they are to us.

Stillwater165 · Mar 29, 2021

Another view of him , old buck , his cape was scarred up something terrible from fighting. I wish now I would have saved that cape ! Maybe I’ll get brownie points for this .... I was wearing an old ripped up plaid flannel shirt , my lucky shirt from my old huntin buddy I lost in 01.

2016 UT "general" muzzleloader
Extras put him in the low 170's

Spent an hour crawling through the sage to get to 130 yards and a spot I could shoot through when he stood. There were four 4x4's. Hopefully I shot the biggest.

I'd say Nevada has given me my largest buck. But dang, you all have killed some monster deer!

The biggest buck I’ve ever shot it in my life was on Arizona strip back in 1988. I was tracking him and jumped him behind a burnt Cedar tree. Got three shots of him at less than 50 yards and all I hit was tree limbs. He ran over the hill and my cousin emptied his gun at him at about 150 yards neither one of us touched him. We tracked him for a couple miles down down a sandy wash until it got dark and never found a speck of blood. It’s like we were shooting blanks!
He was a wide tall and heavy typical 4 x 4. Giant buck!

buckhorn · Apr 6, 2021

Me holding a couple of modern day strip bucks. Unfortunately I didn’t have an opportunity to pull the trigger either one of these giants.

Good on you for using a classic cartridge and rifle as well as your Dad's memories in taking a huge buck.
When I was in high school in 71 I almost bought a 99 in 300 savage but my P. E. teacher ( who was a gun dealer part time ) talked me into a browning auto in 7mm mag. I've got a rem. classic in 300 sav. now that I use out west for deer and elk but wish I'd bought that 99 back when I was 17.

I'm always impressed by coues hunters. I've lived in AZ since college, over 35 years now, went once and said "not for me". Mule deer and elk- no sweat, like breathing. Coues deer take a special patience, and even more determination. And then to top it off with a bow... Congrats!
