Wow what a stud buck!

 

[wildfin]

looks like a cross between a moose and a whitetail

 

[D_Hoyt]

Floppy it is. That's a cool buck.

 

[yoteduster]

Super nice buck..glad they waited till he was hard horned..classy

 

[oldmossback]

Nice ! What is the story behind this buck?

 

[smokepolejohnson]

The windows in the garage door picture really doesn’t do that buck justice.

 

[Ranger1]

What an awesome buck!

 

[eshunt]

That is my dream buck right there!

 

[txco]

Amazing buck. I think he shot it on a draw muzzie tag and still has the gov tag in his pocket.

 

[nontypical]

Holy crap.

 

[dusty]

Wow!!

 

[rmanwill]

NICE!!!

 

[HntHrdr]

Hot mama! That is a critter! Amazing

 

[Snoopdogg]

I'd pop'im.

 

[hossblur]

Imo that's what a trophy buck is, heavy, heavy horns ?

[The_Coloradoboy]

Not the gov tag deer but might as well be

 

[Zeke]

That thing is a beast

[coloradoman]

So does the same guy have the gov tag like stated above?

 

[3TOE]

That buck is incredible… I wouldn’t be able to wipe a smile from my face for a year.

 

[twdjr]

Great looking deer.

 

[junior]

That would be a crazy story if it's true! Spend thousands on a governor tag and shoot this guy on a leftover draw or whatever.

 

[Buckfever34]

What an awesome buck! Congrats to the hunter!

Also, congrats to Clay Hill G & O!

 

[Rabbitslayer78]

Anyone know who guided him?

 

[Homer]

Amazing buck. I think he shot it on a draw muzzie tag and still has the gov tag in his pocket.

If there is any way possible ...he should get a third tag and kill 3 bucks....they are over populating and he would be helping the wolves out with their intended mission.

 

[yoteduster]

Don't make any difference what tag he has as long as it's legal..that's a he'll of a buck

 

[The_Coloradoboy]

Anyone know who guided him?

Clay Hill did

 

[windtalker]

Wow, that's Beautiful!

 

[AZ8]

Wow!!!! Freakin incredible!!!!

 

[cmbbulldog]

What a tank, congrats to the hunter

 

[BradA]

Such an awesome buck, congratulations to the hunter.

Super buck!!
Extra points, dropper, great mass, and a wicked looking right eye guard, couldn’t ask for more!! Most of us will never see something like that on the hoof.

 

[wweaver79]

That buck has it all, looks every bit of mid 200. Just a giant.

 

[Butts]

If you’re a mule deer nut it’s a buck “someone” you know has killed in his/her generational experience hunting big bucks.
Congratulations to the buck and hunter?‍

No yearling for sure. Buck had some stories to tell…

 

[PleaseDear]

Daydreams do come true!

[Wyo300]

Judging by the sweat in the first picture he worked for it. Good on him!

 

[Gator]

Lifetime Buck Awesome

 

[Buckfever34]

You guys care to know something crazy? This is the hunter's second (yes, second!) biggest buck.

I dream that I can live and hunt long enough to maybe see in the wild, let alone kill, a legitimate 220 incher--and that would still be 30 inches behind lol.

This buck looks half moose/ half amazing. What a beautiful beast he shot. The hunter has killed 2 huge bucks. Pretty lucky guy, he should play the lottery??

 

[nripepi]

Amazing buck. I think he shot it on a draw muzzie tag and still has the gov tag in his pocket.

Seriously? That is amazing if true.

 

[Rabbitslayer78]

Does anyone know if it was on private or public? Land owner voucher?

 

[ironhead]

What a beast!

 

[Bigwiffy]

Would have waited for him to scrape the ugly velvet off that dong point coming out.....

 

[Weiserbucks]

Would have waited for him to scrape the ugly velvet off that dong point coming out.....

He said dong . . . . . . .

 

[COLOelkman]

Here he is in velvet. A friend in the area said they'd seen him this summer and had photos as well. He also said there's a similar one running around this year as well as several other really good bucks they've seen.

 

[hawkbill]

Thanks coloelkman- great picture, what a Buck!

 

[sourkraut]

Amazing!

 

[Joe2Kool]

OMG! What a monster!

 

[heywouldya]

Dang, that's huge.

 

[Hiker]

Now that's how you put a Governor's tag to use. Unit 44 is still looking great after all of these years.

Dang! Was gonna say I sure hope he left his genetics in the area before his demise! Sounds like he did. What a STUD buck! Congrats to the hunter!

 

[ICMDEER]

I don't know, his right front fork looks weak. I think I'd have to pass and hope he grew a better fork there next year.

Seriously, congrats to the hunter and Hill Guides and Outfitters. What a dream buck; a true giant.

 

[Focoelkman]

Badass post - keeps getting better! Can’t wait for the 260 pig that he shoots next.

 

[257roberts]

What a a buck!! Congratulations

 

[Smokepole]

 

[JBunn]

Never seen anything so ugly and awesome!

 

[Gator]

WOW that is a super buck

 

[bucktags]

good job!!

 

[jasn]

Wow! Double dropper, double kicker, double main beam!

 

[AMann]

Bobby and Clay sure strive to get their names out there opposed to the other ranches in the area. decent deer though

 

[AMann]

If you’re into monster non typical mule deer that is lol

 

[WesternSky]

Looks like he used the Gov tag

Hell of a buck ! Unit 44 ?

I don't have any inside info but was told it wasn't 44. Don't know for sure.

 

[2lumpy]

Money can’t buy happiness………. But it can make you look really really happy.

Good for that gentleman, mission accomplished.

Great to see those two mega muley bucks.

Congrats.

 

[HntHrdr]

What a year, doubled up on monsters… should have hit Rocky Mt. Arsenal and got the real beast of the front range that “goodbull” is snapping pics of

 

[yoteduster]

That's another super buck..congrats to the hunter

 

[Zeke]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang Orion looks a lot older in this photo.

 

[Buckfever34]

I have been wondering when the pic would hit MM. I got the text the other day and wondered how long it would take.

I personally know the hunter. I've been to his house and seen his game room. I have never seen anyone as crazy about huge mulies (and sheep) as he is. I forget how many mulies he has legitimately over 200--but it is A BUNCH.

Congrats to him. He (and his wife) have put a lot of energy, effort, and resources into the year they have had. You will not meet a more humble and approachable couple. I am so very happy for them. He kills the bucks that live in my dreams!

Every goof ball that owns a camera is out there from sun up to sun down. I went just to have a look at them. There is actually 2 great bucks out there. One they call "slingshot" and I can't remember the other, but he is the bigger than slingshot. There were literally 60-80 paparazzi running up and down the road trying to get pictures. There were big buses that looked like news crews. Never saw anything like that before.

Yep, I work near the arsenal and we would see nice whitetail driving by occasionally on 56th, but man didn’t know there were two bruisers running around out there

 

[goforbroke]

Wow. Not sure which buck I like more!

 

[Cam@strawberry]

2 dudes in one calendar year broke 250” twice. That’s So cool, and so depressing at the same time.

 

[270Whatelse]

Wow unreal!

 

[WesternSky]

2 dudes in one calendar year broke 250” twice. That’s So cool, and so depressing at the same time.

That’s the same dude. Unless you were referring to another person that shot 2 giants this year as well?

 

[elkassassin]

Hey The_Coloradoboy!

Check Your PM!

Makes it even better that he is a down to earth dude, couple of unreal deer!

Heck, I consider it a good year if I kill two bucks that combined have 250"!!

 

[buckhorn]

I don't have any inside info but was told it wasn't 44. Don't know for sure.

I heard somewhere between Carbondale and Basalt whatever unit that is.

 

[1989Cohunter]

 

[Deerlove]

I think there referring to Jimmy John's killing two hundred 250 in Deer as well

 

[Focoelkman]

Good Lord!

 

[coloradoman]

There has been several studs killed in Colorado this year!

 

[COLOelkman]

Is this the same buck? If so, 44.

 

[35huntdeer]

A lot of people seem to know about, or have seen these deer... are they deer that live in, or close to town?

It was a neighborhood buck. Well known, I have a video of it that has been passed around a lot.

Just the term " governor's tag" cracks me up knowing the governor that Colorado has....

You can bet the first man is probably pretty pissed about it….

What part of Colorado? Pretty sure I know, but was curious what the internet says.

Came out of the unit you’ve grown up in

 

[1989Cohunter]

Had to be unit 33

 

[Wiszard]

Had to be unit 33

Actually, that very may well be possible. I found a giant pair of sheds there several years ago.

 

[Gadjet]

Came out of the unit you’ve grown up in

That's what I thought. Thanks

 

[Gadjet]

Sounds like he was on public land.

 

[marburg]

Sounds like he was on public land.

Probably was, the line between the neighborhood and public land is a road, that's it. That buck lived life on the edge, he was constantly being watched and was only yards from death multiple times.

The residents did their best to keep him out of trouble but the rut was hot n heavy. Frankly, I am surprised he survived 2nd and 3rd season.
