My best bow buck taken in 2007 was 161 and change gross. Net 158. Here are several that were harvested in the 80's and 90's that I hung up on the barn down at the family farm. I was inspired to share them after PaBone's post.
Congrats on some great bucks, your barn looks to be in better shape than my father in laws. His barn is about ready to come down and you can easily throw your hat thru it. Glad I got that picture when I did.
Sadly that barn was tore down 3 years ago after the insurance company threaten to not re-up mom's insurance on the farm because of the shape it was in. I like you--- am glad I have a picture of it to remember. I spent many summers stacking hay in the loft of it
Can we count getting footage in bow range? I mean they should have been on the wall Back in 2010 128 and some change
I don't have a score on him, but this AZ muley was the result of my first ever hunting trip at 10 years old.
I've never shot a buck big enough to make me want to score it. I plan on changing that this fall though.
My best scoring buck is 0. Never shot one and want the first one to be one anyone else in the party would shoot. Next year will be the year! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I wouldn't have a clue. I've only just recently started hunting for reasons in addition to just filling the freezer. This past year I started by trying to take a 3.5 or older and go from there. My main goal is to maximize the health of the deer herd in my area and hopefully that will naturally provide opportunities to harvest more mature/higher scoring bucks.
The 1 in the middle is my best to date. I shot him with my bow during the rut chasing a doe with 4 other bucks. He scored 144" gross and some change, but beeing a basic 9 pt frame with a sticker on the brow his net score is alot lower. My 2nd best is the one on the left which is a basic 8pt with 2 stickers on his brows that look like devil horns. I got him with a bow in 2012 early season. He scored 138.
I've never really scored any of my bucks. I killed these bucks back in the early 90s...my first big shotgun buck on the left and my first archery buck on the right. Score guesstimation? I took this one a couple of years ago with the shotgun and was asked to score it...non officially and going by the "how to score" web site I was linked to...he scored around 150"....whether that is correct..I dunno.
145 and change gun kill 2007 I have one that doesn't score as well but will be number #1 even if I kill a 200 inch buck
This is my best bow buck so far, scoring 120". He's real small comming from Alberta, but I'm still proud of him. I had done dark to dark hunts all week in VERY cold, snowy conditions until he came by at 20yrds on Fri morn, next to the last day of my hunt. I'll never forget that hunt, as I got a lucky heart shot and watched him go down after going just 40yrds!
