Here's another clip that our good buddy, Yelum, posted up at MHC. Think this buck would make 230? How many of you think that at some point in your life, you will get a buck of that caliber? If you haven't already.

Thanks so much Yelum and all others who are sharing the photos and videos. Sure fun to see this stuff, wouldn't you agree?

Mr. O'Connor said you could tell the big ones because they look big. He's big and I'd shoot in a moment. Doubt 230.

I have three typicals that "make book". I'd "give my eye teeth" for a non-typical like that.


Within the shadows, go quietly.
 
I sure try to take one like that, but I dont know if i ever will.

I bet he's close to 230, is that an island buck?
 
Oh Yeah!! He's a REAL nice one!!

Maybe with all the outa state hunts and some of the great places i've been, i might have thought that eventually, i might pull a buck out like that one or similar. It wasn't to be. Can't say that i did this or did that wrong, just never came across a really super toad Muley.

With most of my hunts behind me, being a realist, and the once huntable lands i used to have access to getting more and more, posted and leased up with the big money game, i'd guess no, i'm likely to not ever get one like that.

But who knows. I've paid my dues in full, might just get a tad lucky one day!! :)

Here is a picture of him with the big typical from the other post. The NT has about 32 inches of extras on what I believe is very close to a 200 inch frame. He is the biggest buck score wise that I have ever personally seen.

Yes, he is an island deer.

I wish I could say that I think at some point I'll get a buck like that, but reality is I've been hunting deer for nearly fifty years now and I haven't got one yet and I doubt I've ever seen one that big! I'd say 99% of all hunters past, present and future will never kill one like that! And most will never see one either, at least in unprotected areas! Here's another question..... how many bucks do you think have been born and died and never reached the size of that buck? millions?
If we added up all the hunters in the western states in one year, how many 230" bucks do you think they killed?
 
I still think that the big 5X5 would all time "Book" but i'm gonna add a couple inches to his outside spread...35"

"If we added up all the hunters in the western states in one year, how many 230" bucks do you think they killed?"

Good question! I think there is more than we hear about by a least double. Hate to throw a number out there cause always going to be doubters on the higher or lower side but between our good country like Az, Ut, Nev, Colo, Wy, Id,...plus Mexico and the Canadian Providences, i'd guess a couple dozen anyway. There was even one or two from Cali last year...

Are those pics of this years deer? I was just wondering i spend a lot of time out there and love watching the giant muleys. I live in Layton so i go out there a couple times a month and have seen some pretty big bucks this year. Every time i see them its too dark for a good picture or video.
 
Oh I'd imagine I'll slam about 30-40 of em over the next 30-40 years lmao...bucks like that are definately a true trophy!! Maybe 1% of all hunters get a buck like that in their lives if even that many??

~Z~
 
Great buck I havent got one like that yet and getting older all the time chances are it will not happen for me.
 
That is a good picture of two great bucks, The part about if they are 1% is so true not many get to that size in this type of hunting, and those killed are killed by a small number of hunters that do it year after year.

MULEYSTALKER, no it was a few years ago. They used to come out a lot earlier but its hard to find them now in good light now days.

I have killed at least a dozen of these in my dreams......But in reality not even close. Have probaly seen 2 deer that would gross ove 200"
