@JakeH thanks for putting them all in one! Impressive collection of bucks for sure! Still searching for the other 2013 buck
Hope you don't mind, I just wanted to see them all without having to jump around and figured others would too lol. good job on tracking them all down.

I remember that buck, dude refused to let mossback help him, I do remember a picture floating around but it was a lot more low key for sure.
 
Seems to me that all the favorites everyone chose here are from the 3 best years of rain fall?? 2011, 2017 and 2019! All exceptional bucks but I agree genetics help but feed and moisture play a big role in antler growth!
 
I still back up what I said on two of the hottest months on record, June and July stunted horn growth 2022. Thanks for posting Jake
 
The buck the vet killed this year has one of his kids running around in town violating the town does.

The same structure to his horns, one side more straight the other curved, with lots of points. He's a 6x8 this year.

Long walk to town for some strange ??
 
I've searched the archives on here and never could find a picture of the missing buck from 2013, but I did see a post from yellum saying it scored 214. And the auction tag was 240
 
So from the looks of it, the 2022 bucks just are not quite in the same class as the rest of the years. They are saying the auction tag buck is 240 but idk he just does not compare to the 240 class bucks from the rest of the years in my opinion.
As far as the draw hunter, you never know why they chose to take that buck, but I suspect he is not the biggest buck left on the island. Maybe but I doubt it.
 
Great bucks but I’m never drawing that tag. Plus mule deer are inferior to elk!?
But I still want a giant one.
 
I think the highest purchased tag was about $415k and the lowest about $280k. I may be off a little on the ends as that’s all from memory, but the range seems right. The rest fell somewhere in between, with almost all of them collecting more than $300k.

If you averaged each tag at $315k, that would put it at about $3.78 million, with the VAST majority of that staying at Antelope Island State Park. (Keep in mind, they have sold sheep and bison tags there as well, so the number for the state park/Island is higher than that.)

But You Buying The Tag Will Be The Quickest!

Even The ALCATRAZ Bucks Are Getting Smaller Niller!

Get One While There's Still a Couple Of Medium Bucks Left!
 
Impressive racks for sure!!!!! If anyone thinks these are impressive “bucks” I would politely disagree…
 
? so what are they if they are not "bucks"

My god…. Are them bucks not a product of a high fenced area…? it’s a fuggin island…. Who gives A absolute Fugg.. honestly.

You knew damn well what I was talking about..
Cool rack’s. I would rather shoot your muzzy buck this year Jake H .
 
Hasn’t been an island for a long time, those bucks are free to go wherever they want.
I own land north of the new prison, N.W. of Salt Lake International Airport.
Here are some fellows, there were four in total, that ventured off the ‘island’ to my place just like the deer and Antelope are doing.
I am officially renaming ( since we are doing it for a lot of other landmarks) the island to ‘Antelope Peninsula’.

Jeff is a long time friend of mine and a helluva hunter in his own right. He's not one to seek accolades or attention. He hunts because he's a hunter. That's all.
He certainly killed an absolute stud of a typical!

Boy that’s a dark one.
 
There should be an * next to the names in the record book so we know they were tame bucks.

Speaking of the* I have that next to my bull because I was not willing to pay for him to get shipped to Reno for a panel scoring.
Live and learn..
