Have you ever gotten a 170 plus inch buck on camera?

I'm telling you, Im gonna get a pic like this, this year! If I do, I'm gonna slam beer til I fall out of my chair. Haha

 

I’m ready for you!

 

Only in my dreams.

 

yes PLZ

 

2-3 over the years. This guy from last year is pushing 165+ even with those little nub brows:





Think the one in the back would easily go 160+ also...never got a great pic of him, and didn't get any for certain ones of him out of velvet.

Here is that first one out of velvet on a neighbor's cam:





I saw him on the hoof after dark in my headlights on Nov...6? Same night I shot my buck. Nobody in our area claimed they got him so we are hopeful he made it through the season.

Different neighbor got this guy on camera like 50 yards from our property line. We never got him on cam that I know of. 16, maybe 18 scorable points. I can only guess he's over 170, he's obviously wide as hell but can't tell any tine length due to the angle. I also have no idea where to even begin trying to score all his trash:







I'm starting to get geeked already.

 

forgot, we had this guy last year too...perfect clean 10. Maybe not +170 but I bet he's +160.

 

Won't be long before you get to tell the tale of gutting a 170 plus....

You have the drive and are now in an area where you can legitimately hunt them.

Only a matter of time

 

Thanks man. Im trying to get my first 140 plus inch first. hahaha. But Im telling you, I think Im onto something big. Found absolutely giant buck tracks over about 100 acres, three times. Might just be a big body buck, but everything including rub height, tell me that this may be a true giant.

 

Holy hell ...found this today

 

I hope that wasn't in the same area as the post above.

 

About 15 miles away. Ha

 

Well it looks like you might have your 170 on camera now….. that’s a beauty

 

That’s a tank, stinks to find em like that but awesome find!

 

You going to score it?

I'll go with 158 3/8 if you do..

That aside, it's the subtle hints and clues you are about to have a special season. This is the first one, show restraint early this coming season, a better one is coming.

Unless he is 160+, then collapse both lungs without hesitation

 

Ha. I guessed about 155 myself. He is a bit narrow. I hope you are right about me getting a crack at a real good one.

 

Thought him to be about 16" IS on first take, but thought tine length in the 9 - 11" would be common got him into the 50's.

Either way, it's your first sign of things to come.

Of all the hunters on this forum, I think a majority of us can agree you are due.

 

That is a nice find, heck of a buck.

 

looks too fresh to be a CWD kill. Think he was a hunter kill/non recovery?

 

Yeah it still stunk like crazy. May just be old age and it was a tough February with extremely cold weather.

 

Wow what a fine!!!!!! Score that baby and let us know
