I Got A Big Buck!!!!!!!!!

I got lucky again and took this buck yesterday morning. He is awesome!

We arrived on Thursday to begin looking. Found real quick that there were not a lot of deer. Throughout the 3-1/2 days of looking and then hunting, I think I saw maybe 15 bucks, and maybe 25 does. Tough hunting! The deer were also only moving during the first hour of light and the last half hour.

I first laid eyes on this bad boy on Sunday morning. When I first saw him, I knew he was big. Then, I saw him again Sunday night, and after looking him over a little more, I knew was really big.

On Monday morning I took dad with me to try and videotape if the buck was still around. (Prior, he had been watching other areas for me) Anyway, 30 minutes after light the two bucks stood up from being bedded in the sage and began feeding. The bigger buck was at 425 yards or so. I decided to trim the distance by moving a little closer as dad tried to videotape the buck.

I moved to where I ranged the buck at 360. Took my time and got him. I was so excited to get him. What a rush!!! I was hooting and haulering. We felt so lucky that the buck was still in the area. There were hunters everywhere!!!!!

Dad had the camera running, but he was filming through the limbs on an aspen tree and the camera automatically focused on the tree limb instead of the buck. He didn't know how to turn off auto-focus...so no good kill shot to share....sorry!
I will post the video I have later. Cutting up deer meat today.

Here's some photos of the buck. He is really cool!!!

Not sure if you are a lucky dog or if it's just hard work. Nice buck, looks like you have had a great year. Congrats.
 
OK, now tell us the real story...JUST KIDDING. Awesome buck. Would hate to have your taxi bill this year. You really have a nack for finding big bucks. Was this one you scouted earlier in the year or something that just happened to be in the area?

Congrats again.

Looking forward to CO 4th season, but probably not gonna find anything like that hoss.

Nice buck Brian! Don't forget to give us his vital statistics when you get a chance.
 
Hey Brian...since most of your posts are titled "I got a big buck"- how bout just numbering them. This post should be "I got a big buck #89". Makes it easier for us to keep up with all your toad bucks.
 
Good grief Brian. I'd be happy with just one of those in my lifetime... now you are doing multiples every year! Congrats. That is a fantastic buck!
 
There's going to be a line of cars following you around next season! Awesome buck bro!

Brandon
 
Brian, I'm the guy you knocked down and stepped on my rifle just before you shot that buck!:)j/k

That's a fantastic buck! It has everything! Big time congrats!

You said...."Throughout the 3-1/2 days of looking and then hunting, I think I saw maybe 15 bucks, and maybe 25 does. Tough hunting!"

You don't hunt public land in California much do you? LOL!

Big congrats, Brian. I also assume Colorado. I'll be down there in 10 days and I hope there's one that good with my name on him.
 
I SAY IT AIN'T A TARDVILLE BUCK!!!

THE ONLY bobcat THAT KNOWS ALOT OF YOU HAVE HAD THIS IMAGE IN YOUR PEA BRAIN BUT DUE TO POOR SHOOTING TACTICS I'M STILL KICKIN!!!
 
I think his your best buck this year for sure, I need to put a GPS unit on your truck I can see that now, What's with making your dad do the ALL the dirty work, If I hunt with you Bud I wouldn't make you do all the dirty work I promise, LOL
 
Brain, Congrats on another great looking buck.Brother I think I figured out the lucky charm though most(me included) won't shake that lucky mojo bag. But anyhow I'm thinking it was getting bucked off and kicked upside the noggin that bust the big buck finding fever loose in you....Again congrats and thanks for sharing it....NM
 
Brian,
Congrats on another Toad, you are having a Boomer year......

There's room for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed taters and gravy.
 
I am not sure but, Bud looks like he was actually doin all the packin out and you just put it on your shoulders to pose for the pic? Lmfao Next time If I was your Dad I would make you leave your gun at camp at least for the first few days. You owe it to him for instilling the hunting bug in you at an early age. Congrats on yet another fine buck! You told me a couple years ago you were going to give up hunting? What happened to that notion? I hope you know how lucky you are to have a dad like yours? I have had the privilege of hunting with him and nobody works harder! I hope I still have that energy when my boys get old enough that I can still hang with them in the mts! Congrats !!
 
Awesome buck Brian. Way to make the most of your opportunity!!

Heck of a buck Brian. He is a smoker. I love all the pics too. Nobody has that much luck. You must be doing something right. Maybe you should write a book.
 
"I shot a little buck"

Dude, this is getting ridiculas! Congrats AGAIN on another monster buck!

Bobby,

If you drove a dodge you'd be invited.

gee brian, that's a doozer. Did you have to carry him far on your back, or could you get close to him in the truck or atv? I would like to find a buck like that on my 3rd season Co hunt. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks yote
 
Another Beautiful Buck Brian!
As has been said, its pretty impressive when a guy consistently kills big deer! My hats off to you!

P.S. I cant believe you killed that buck knowing that there were hunters everywhere...someone else may have wanted to kill that buck. The right thing to do would have been to walk away...
------------------------------------------------------
By the way,
I live in UT.
There are a lot of UTARDS that live here.
I have also seen quite a few WYOMORONS, NEVADUHNS, COLORADORKS, ID-IOTS and AIRHEADZONANS in my travels.
 
Well done, AGAIN. Wow, great season and great critters. Pretty impressive. I think ol' Founder just might know how to hunt big muleys...Congrats Brian.
 
THANKS EVERYONE!!! The buck is really cool. That 2 hours that morning was some high...WOW. If only I could bottle it and relive it from time to time. I was so excited to get this buck...to have dad there too!
FUN STUFF for sure!!!!!!!

It's no wonder this deer hunting has become so addicting. My wife still doesn't understand it. "It's just a deer" is what she's thinking. LOL

It's funny how "deer" is what my life revolves around. Livelyhood and hobby. Weird...only other diehard hunters understand it.

Hey wait! I got a dodge and my name is Brandon! Does that mean I'm invited?

Yeah funny how your wife doesn't get it but I bet she doesn't complain when the bills are paid and she's at the spa right? Lmao
