Sage, the picture was taken at Pearson Tire's big buck contest in 1965, in Richfield, Utah.

Here's another pic. from the same year. These were the winners, with the heaviest buck weighing in a 233 lbs, widest spread at 33.75". Pearson Tire Company awarded the heaviest buck and the widest buck hunters either a new Winchester Model 70 or a set of 4 new tires.

These particular deer were the "left over bucks" from the Richfield, Utah area. "Left overs" because Sporting Goods stores in Salt Lake City were giving away a new car to their "widest spread winners" so the real special bucks always found their way north and the smaller stuff came to contests sponsored by Pearson Tire Stores in Richfield, Beaver, Mt. Pleasent, and a half dozen other contests in small communities across the State.

I've collected a lot of these old photo's over the years. I love the whole image, the clothes, the vehicles, the hats, the boots, the guns, knives, tents, camps and of course the deer. Seeing other MMers' old deer camp images are one of the things I like most about the MM forum.

Joey,
Here's my best from Utah in 1987. Too bad it's been so long ago.
Sorry for the sideways photo. I'm tech-challenged.

I missed a golden opportunity to photograph lots of huge dead bucks. I used to measure the bucks for the contest at a Utah sporting goods store (Wolfes) in the late 70's and 80's. We'd give away either a jeep, scout or bronco every year.
I thought it would never end..... but it almost has!
Those kind of bucks are getting tough to find on a regular basis.

Zeke did u mount that buck? If not do u still have the horns? If so post up a pic of them now days. Awesome Buck.

Zeke · Apr 30, 2013

I did mount him. He still looks good too. I'll see if I can get a mount photo in the next couple days and post him up.
Maybe I can get the photo points the right direction this time. haha

Here's my latest good buck taken a couple years ago in Colorado.
I hope we are helping your cabin fever Joey.

Zeke

PS: now you can see what 30 extra pounds looks like on me! Yikes!

Great buck Zeke! Its awesome being able to see them every day on the wall and remember the memories that come with them

Mine from last year.

My personal best.

One I took a picture of a couple years ago, wouldn't score much but I sure would love to get one like him! The Mass on him was crazy!!!

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

Great post... Refreshing... Fever is strong today...

sageadvice · Apr 30, 2013

You guys are Awesome!!

Heartshot, That thing is unreal, Thanks! I had a Uncle was a Cowboy working the winter range for the Spanish Ranch, Nv., back in the 60's. Him and his foreman went out and they each killed monster bucks. I seen the Pic's but now they are lost to me. Anyway, the buck my Uncle killed, i think, would be top 5 Book non-typical. He won the contest prizes in Elko that year with the buck, 37 points on a huge high mainframe, but the rack burned with the winter ground shack he was staying in. Sad deal, it too was beyond words.

Keep em coming guys and Thanks again!!

Here's a couple 2011 Ut bucks. I don't know if they're big enough to help your fever Joey but here they are.

My daughters really love hunting and here's my youngest with her best buck.

I know they're not mega-bucks but they are still fun to chase and great to eat!

Zeke

All you guys have posted some beauties!
