Another excellent job Brian on a great buck. So glad he was there when you went back. Like you said, "got my cake and ate it too. Christian

Founder, A serious congrats to you on one of your best bucks. Wide bucks are indeed rare, as you said. My hat's off to you. Your patience and knowledge of buck behavior are inspiring. You bring a lot to this pursuit of monster mule deer- thanks for sharing your adventures! Robby Denning

Because some people buy sheds, they are lazy???? I'm confused. I know guys who buy them because they like big deer. I guess some might say they shot them, but guys like that lie about everything. Doesn't devalue selling sheds. lbeaumont11, if appropriate, let us know what you get for the...

thank you Abiggerfish2fry You've satisfied the curiousity of a bunch of internet deer hunters! The Christian

Thanks Ryan, Great story on the buck and measuring. I can't wait to see your next WT book, loved the first one. A great resource you have put together. We took our kids to the State Capital in Boise last week and saw your "Idaho's Greatest..." books on display in the historical Idaho books...

Wow, it is real. If it is 250 gross, that puts it around number 3 all time Idaho according to Hatfield's greatest Idaho Whitetails. I don't get Eastman's currently, anyone willing to post a pic? Thanks The Christian

thanks for chiming in. Do you know which Eastman's edition? I heard it was like a 260" buck????????? The Christian

Hate be part of any rumor mill, but I've heard from two people that there was a giant of a whitetail killed in N. Idaho 2011. I'M NOT SAYING ONE WAS KILLED, just wondering if anyone can confirm? The Christian

Unless you can scout in the summer, under the current herd conditions, you will be greatly disappointed. Even if you scout, it will be tough, but you could improve your odds by locating bucks before the pressure mounts. The Christian

That close up of the right side cheaters shows the true "imensity" (is that a word?) of that deer. No trick photography here. None of us will ever see a deer like that, safe to say. Good job to Rob at NTO. The Christian

Thanks for your input BCBOY. All I can say is if I was hunting in any legal state-sponsored season and saw a buck of that caliber and he had a collar on, I would still shoot him. I really can't argue with what you are saying. I'm just not much against these tags and hunting outfits that...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-31-11 AT 01:33PM (MST)[p]BCBOY I've always respected your opinion and still do. I'd have to disagree based on my family hunting SE Idaho since the late 1930's that the December deer were hunted hard. Very few if any hunters in the winter-range woods then. My post was...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-31-11 AT 12:47PM (MST)[p]If someone posts a pic of grandpa in '49 with a huge buck in back of a chained-up jeep, killed in December, some people say "What a hunter!" Fast-forward 60 years. Mule deer have dwindled to the point only 5-10 governer style tags can be issued...

Because it's a slow friday night! The Christian

It looks like the "Bejeweled Pisscutter" post from squirrel has a pic of Denny Austad with a big deer with a Mossback logo. I know Denny had the Colorado Gov tag for 2011, but don't know if that is the deer he killed there this year. Anyone know if that is the deer? The Christian
