Antelope Island 2022?

deerlevi · Nov 15, 2022

Has anybody seen if the auctioned tag holder killed a buck on Antelope Island yet?

Vanilla · Nov 15, 2022

fstop is filming the hunt, if I heard correctly. It should be on KSL Outdoors soon.

Founder · Nov 15, 2022

They did. Tall buck with a few extras on each side.

heartshot · Nov 15, 2022

It is a great buck. So awesome that it was donated to a veteran. The kill shot was perfect.

I do not have pictures and video to share. I got lucky and saw it on someone else's phone.

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. Even though Tyler felt like he wasn’t deserving, believe me, he is. He’s been through the ringer and this hunt and the friends he’s made on it are proof there’s still good in this world. This wouldn’t have happened without the generosity of Mike and Melissa Shultz. What an inspiration to us all! Also a shout out to the guys who spent countless hours/days with Tyler scouting for just the right deer for him and to Hunts for The Brave who found Tyler. Oh, and one more shoutout, the companies that wanted to help and did! Kings Camo, Christenson Arms, Vortex, and Baccou. There’s a couple I’m forgetting and I apologize. We’ll have the story of Tyler’s gifted hunt Saturday, December 3rd on KSL Outdoors. It’ll be a story about a hunt that has turned a bunch of strangers into family. I can’t wait to tell it!

A few? He’s a 9x10. Your eyes are getting old Latturner!

Congratulations Tyler! Thank you for your service. You are an American ??

Beautiful buck!

How about “several” extras?

Those little extras on the main beams are unique. Not sure I’ve ever seen those.

elkhunterUT · Nov 16, 2022

I'm not sure what I am more impressed with - the size of that buck or the size of those neckerchiefs those guides are wearing!

Gotta get me one of those for the really cold days!

That is a very cool buck - congrats to the hunter and sounds like a really great story for everyone involved!

I was told they taped it out at 248"

I was told the same, so I suck bad at estimating buck scores. I saw summer video and I guessed 220ish. I missed by more than 2 feet of antler!!!
It’d be interesting to see a score sheet and where that length is that I missed.

PRCnut · Nov 17, 2022

Ya I’m not seeing 248” either but the mass can fool you on the lengths sometimes! Great buck and congrats to the hunter!

Zeke · Nov 17, 2022

Helluva buck Tyler got, Adam!
So cool you were there and a part of the hunt.
Yep, way cool!

The draw tag

backcountrybutcher · Nov 17, 2022

amazing and unique buck but 248 would shock me... 220 would surprise me.

smokepolejohnson · Nov 17, 2022

Truly Great Bucks, hats off to the Shulz’s for there generosity. Side note, and slightly off topic, but it might be time for WHL and Doyle to high fence that East side of the island with some SFW funding, would be a tragedy and we’d hate to see any big bucks wander off the Island in the current drought status and not get the hero harvest From a some of the Preffered guide island boyz.

Hey fstop!

He Doesn't Count PISSCUTTER Points!

Sweet bucks..!

Went out to try and see some ruttin bucks this week... never saw a single deer. Really weird. Usually get to see a few big boys chasing does, not the case. Maybe I'll go out once more Sat, but its not the same as it was a few years ago.

I agree 100%.

If those were the two biggest bucks on the Island looks like quality is down compared to years past.
What could be the cause of the decline?

I just noticed there’s a topic on the Utah forum discussing the decline in quality and quantity on antelope Island.

There’s not a lot of bucks out there and they shoot the two biggest bucks every year. What more is there to talk about?

Make the hunt once every three years and you’ll see quality similar to when they first started whoring out the island for $$$

Ranger1 · Nov 19, 2022

Awesome bucks!

100%, agree?

Vanilla · Nov 19, 2022

I’m giving ya’ll a research assignment. Someone go find pics of all the bucks killed on the island since the hunt opened, and post them by year in its own thread. (One draw tag is a little more difficult to come by, but it’s floating around out there.)

This is your mission, if you choose to accept it.

awsome bucks!!

Congratulation to everyone involved.

yoteduster · Dec 6, 2022

What a great story and a super great buck...I can't think of anything better than a combat veteran of our armed forces getting a gift like this congrats to all involved

Founder · Dec 6, 2022

Great show Adam (@fstop)!
What a cool thing for Mike to do for Tyler. Both of them seem like some great guys. And of course the group Hunt for the Brave, Christensen Arms, Vortex, King's, and all the folks along for the party. Just really cool stuff.

HIcountryman · Dec 6, 2022

Those look like some old bucks! Nasty

Zeke · Dec 6, 2022

Way to go, Adam!!! Classy all the way.

Loved the show and the generosity from Mike Schultz to pay for that tag and to give it to a veteran. Wow!! Pretty awesome all the way around for everyone involved!!
