LAST EDITED ON Sep-12-19 AT 02:50PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-12-19 AT 02:49?PM (MST) Score update: I taped him several times and have a hard time seeing the score I got but the math doesn't lie to me. I got 187 gross. I guess the mass and width made a bigger impact on score than I thought.

I was finally able to not only join the 30" club but surpassed it by 2"!! I vastly under estimated the score (gross SCI) of this buck. The math suprises me to this day. Enjoy!!

Nice Video. I drew a rifle tag for that area this fall!!!

I harvested a erythristic color phased turkey the other day. I was wondering if anyone on here has a strutting turkey mount and recommendations of a taxidermist and average cost. The picture doesn't do the bird justice. It was a rainy morning. Thanks!

I fully understand the signifance of scouting. I am struggling with the fact that i live 14 hours away and am limited on time off.

Since adulthood took me away from my childhood home of northern Colorado, I have been building 11 non-resident points and I am looking to burn these points soon (next year or in the next few years). I have chosen to hunt an early rifle high country deer. I have narrowed it down to these hunt...

That is what I was guessing as well. I like the character of the heavy buck more but will not pass either one if I have the chance!!! Hopefully this week I will get more pictures and they will be pretty much finished growing.

Scoring whitetails kicks my butt every time. These two bucks are for sure shooters with my bow but what is your guess on score and I will compare to my guess. The heavy bucks pictures are at the end of July. He has put on tine length since than (went nocturnal due to 100 degree temperatures)...

After a few years of camping next to my truck in a small 4 person tent and camping in 4 days of raining weather last spring hunting turkeys, I am looking to invest in a large tent like a wall tent or an outfitter tent. I will be camping next to my truck. I want a tent that i will be able to...

UPDATE: Official Score after drying period: 188 3/8. He is the 2nd largest buck harvested in North Dakota with archery equipment!!

Well, after the drying period my buck was officially scored. ND is not known for its monster mule deer like out west but we have some good bucks. His score doesn't matter to me as much as the actual 3 year quest for him but its just fun to know. He gross scored 196 2/8 typical (3 2/8"...

Taxidermy forum is not getting many looks. My taxidermist informed me that the hair on my big buck is slipping and would not be able to used on a shoulder mount. I need another cape. Now that some rifle seasons have started some bucks will be hitting the dirt (my taxidermist is in Wyoming) I...

Quest for Optimus My quest for a buck that I named Optimus started in the rut of 2014 here in North Dakota. A buddy and I were driving home from work one evening and spotted a nice buck on the side of the road tending his does. I already filled my tag earlier in the season on a beautiful 193...

My taxidermist called me and said that my big bucks cape is slipping on the shoulders. He said it most likely wont be salvageable. I had to leave him overnight and the side that he died on is the side its slipping (blood pooled there) He is in full velvet and needs an early season cape. He is...

Have you thought of a 7mm-08???

Here is a few pictures and videos that i have of my buck i harvested this fall.

Does anyone have any pictures of their pedestal deer mounts. I am going to build my own pedestals and hang my two biggest mule deer bucks on them. I see pictures of them online but wondering how they are mounted on the back. Also, how big would it need to be to hold two deer mounts Example below

>What was the official score?! don't know official score. I am betting he will net around the 192-195 range depending on if his small kickers are scored and count against his net. (nets are for fish-i believe if he grew it it should count-oh well)

The quest for Optimus is over! I was able to harvest a buck that I have been after for 3 years. Year 1: I harvested a 193? buck the first weekend of the archery season. I found Optimus in November during the rut. I helped a few buddies chase him with a bow for the remainder of the season. Year...

How do I go about looking up the largest pope and young mule deer for North Dakota? Typical catagory

Having issues with my camera. I cant get photos to download. This is a teaser tho

The entrance was spot on for what i shot him for at 35 yards. As for what happened i have no idea. The arrow entered him in the 10 ring behind the shoulder and just about exited about 3" behind the last rib. When i shot i was sure he was broadside to me. not quartering. The only thing i can...

a little taste of whats to come in a few days!!! oh......and mass added up to be around 50"

>So now that he is recovered >was the shot placement as >you remembered? Did you hit >the crease? Just curious not >trying to be an ass. >Glad you recovered. yes...shot was dead on in the crease behind shoulder!!!!

Kind of funny how a person can post on this site for advice about what they would do in my situation and get criticized for it. All I wanted to know was how long each person waits if they gut shot a deer (worst case scenario). I strive to better myself every year as a hunter and an ethical one...

The curse continues with my big buck. Last year I shot him at 30 yards and i hit him in the shoulder when he ducked my arrow....he lived...fast forward to last night...35 yards feeding i let an arrow fly his direction. I watched the arrow bury into the crease behind the shoulder. He mule kicked...

dont worry...i don't judge...heck i shot a 190 class buck 2 years ago that was outside spread a whopping 26"!!!!!!!!1
