Average size bucks killed

deerslayer64d · Tuesday at 1:58 PM

All the post about the biggest, widest bucks , although fantastic to look at and dream for
( some real slammer’s ) how about the more common bucks takes ? Post up your pics of the average bucks you have taken ? Having only taken one mule deer in TX I will start , very old deer but not a monster, I hope to better this one this year on a private land hunt in CO

Including my best TX WT just for grins

Maybe you could start your own website and call it average size muleys?

Thank you for sharing.

Shot this one in Colorado in 2010. I actually shot the wrong buck. The other one was bigger......really!

Case of mistaken buck during a rut fest last year, his buddy was a super deep forked 4x4 both big bodied. Haven’t taped him but I’d be surprised if it hit 150, nice frame though, just an average buck… all my bucks are average so far though, with my big buck being 170

Couple “management” bucks I took when I couldn’t turn up “the one.”

That’s funny founder. How many times have we heard. (You should have seen the one with it) way bigger.

Every buck I've ever killed could go on this thread.

I sure love every one of them though!---SS

Soccerdude · Tuesday at 10:07 PM

I am good at killing below avg bucks. Love someday to hit 180. Ha.

deerslayer64d · Tuesday at 10:50 PM

Don’t get me wrong, I was… but imagine my initial shock when post shot I saw the buck I thought I killed come out of some trees haha I was a little stunned

Here's a few average bucks my dad and I killed over the last few years. Very happy and proud of each of them.

Was using a suppressor, so him, the 5 other smaller bucks and 6 does kind of milled around until I walked up on my buck. Still kick myself for not getting a picture of the “big guy” but I’m sure he spread his seed some that day so I take some comfort in that

I am use to average bucks because 120”-150” deer generally get me excited and I pull the trigger. I have smaller and bigger but these are some that I have that I classified as average. Each have a memory and it has been a ton of fun over the years. I hope I can hold out this year but I won’t count on it because I know with happens when I see a decent buck and my mind starts talking myself into pulling the trigger. My freezer is alway full due to my weakness so that is a good thing. It is a Fun time of the year.

Good luck.
