Your deer bucket list

bonepicker · Jul 20, 2011

This is a follow up for my last question. For your ideal trophy buck, what characteristic would you like to have most? Obviously, it would be great to have more than one characteristic (like a 30" buck with drop tines and cheaters that scores 221") but if you had 10 bucks looking at you at 25 yards and each had only one of the desirable characteristics, which would you choose? So basically, what is your deer bucket list?
My top 5:
1. Drop tine(s)
2. 200"+ typical
3. Double Mainbeam(s)
4. Knarly Non-typical
5. In-line point(s)

I'm a sucker for fewer points, longer tines, more mass and higher typical scores. EX: in the whitetail world, a 190" 8pt would get shot before a 200" 14pt.

The 200" typical... Everytime...

Double Main Beam...??? Ugly.

Big frame 3 or 4 point deep fork typical 200!

TerynItUp · Jul 20, 2011

200" Typical no questions about it. I dream about the Burris Buck regularly.

Have to agree, double main beams = ugly. I would want a big typical over that buck in Co Spgs.

Hunt Hard. Shoot Straight. Kill Clean. Apologize to No One.

Lots of mass!

marley · Jul 20, 2011

If several bucks were in a line up, the heavy mass buck would get killed every time for me. Gotta love the mass.

My bucket list seems to change alot. Before 2007 my goal was a 30" buck and a 200" typical. In '07 I killed a 32" 198 buck and then my list changed. I was dying to get a big nontypical and I thought it would always be a dream. Last year I killed my 30" buck with a 200" main frame with trash to go with it with awesome mass and long main beams all in one buck and I feel like my bucket list is complete and can now just enjoy a hunt with my son and not worry about a list. I find my hunt alot less stressful. Can't wait for my son to turn 12 for next year.

New bucket list:

1. Be there for my sons first deer.....spike or monster....won't matter.
2. Dying for a big elk.

HalfAce · Jul 20, 2011

1. 250+ non typical.
2. 200+ 4 pt main frame w/ double droppers and some extras.
3. Big 4x4 with downward dropping main beams.
4. 205-210 boxy frame, extra heavy on the mass please.
5. Anything else that gets my heart racing.

msy · Jul 20, 2011

A double main beam buck is on my list too. I also think a 150+ 2 point would be awesome.

I think I'll +1 on Joey's dream. With those kind of inches I think they'll have everything I want on them...

travishunter3006 · Jul 21, 2011

Many more 200" 14 points have been shot than 190" 8 points simply because the grand total of 190" 8 points is ZERO.

bucksandducks · Jul 21, 2011

I would settle for a 30" 4 point in the 180 class.

BFM · Jul 21, 2011

I would like to find one before my time expires like the Wyoming buck taken last year! That buck is super wide with lots of trash, long main beams, tall eye guards, deep forks, everything but a dropper.
